Mountain Biking
Strap on the helmet and enjoy mountain biking through South Australia.
The Eagle Mountain Bike Park lies 15 minutes from the Adelaide city centre and offers 21 kilometres of trails dedicated to the 'fat tyre' enthusiast.
Facilities exist for cross-country and downhill and incorporate a skills park, jump park and trials area. For a more secluded ride in the Adelaide Hills try Cudlee Creek near Lenswood with its established cross-country and downhill tracks. For a weekend away with friends try the Fat Tyre Festival in Melrose or the Dirty Weekend at Cudlee Creek.
Mountain biking events include Track and Trail Series, Fat Tyre Festival, Ego Trip, Dirty Weekend and the Outback Odyssey. Find details at BikeSA's events page.
With almost 900 kilometres of back tracks, forest tracks and single track, the Mawson Trail is Australia's premier off road cycling trail. It will take you through some of the most spectacular scenery in South Australia - Adelaide Hills, Barossa, Clare Valley and Flinders Ranges.
