Canberra’s Stromlo Forest Park has answered the call for more challenging mountain-biking circuits by expanding its jump trails — the Vapour Trail and Trump Card.
Both tracks have already been given the tick of approval by the experts at Flow Mountain Bike on-line magazine, and organisers think that the trails will add further to the reputation and attraction of Canberra as an international riding destination.
A shuttle service is now in operation at Stromlo Forest Park, giving riders an opportunity to get a ride to the top of the hill so that they can spend more time exploring the various descents.
Stromlo Forest Park continues to cater for all levels of experience with trails for beginner and intermediate riders to develop their skills, including The Playground, Skyline, The Luge and Double Dissolution.
