This month we'll be visiting a great mountain biking area that is deserving of more attention - Mt Lofty, in Redesdale. Some of our older riders might remember racing 24 hour events out there in the early 2000s, and there were XC races as part of a series up there until about 2014. It's classic old school XC, with rocky sections, minor technical features and undulating bushland. The ride will take about 2 hours, and will cover about 16 km of mostly single track, with about 350 metres of climbing. We'll ride at a pretty cruisey pace, with plenty of breaks. Bring water, snacks, and basic tools. Note there are no amenities at the site.
We'll aim to pedal off at 9:30 am, meeting at the dam: in Google Maps you can search "Redesdale MTB Trail Head" or the What3Words link is: ///rovers.exteriors.lampposts
A Rocky Riders (or other AusCycling) membership is required so you are covered by insurance while riding. Riders not holding a current membership need to sign up on the day. If you are not in a position to sign up for a full membership you can sign up for the AusCycling 4 Week Free Trial or Lifestyle monthly Membership for $9.00.
