With Mountain Bike Riding now an option for students to do during class time, some of our very talented students have decided to share some of their knowledge about some bike trails.

Wandoo by Finlay Crane

A nice peaceful ride, or walk, in the Australian bushland. No steep hills and no steep descents. It’s time to turn off your brain and breathe the fresh air and enjoy its natural beauty. Approximately 3 km long, it’s a short adventure. I recommend this to the riders just starting out in the sport and people who enjoy the great outdoors.

 Eagle’s Nest by Cameron Rodgers

The Eagle’s Nest track starts off with a nice flat ride with a few obstacles along the way, such as rocks, logs, gravel berms and more. After about a kilometre of riding on the flat ground is where the fun begins because it’s all downhill from there. It has a couple of berms and then it comes to a log obstacle where a tree has fallen over and someone has made some jumps over two big branches at the top of the tree. If you don’t want to jump it you can go around it. Once you ride a bit further down the track you come to a table top made of planks of wood and then straight after that there’s a drop off of rock and then another, but made of logs. After that you just follow the single trailed track to the bottom of the hill, still looking out for all the rocks and sticks on the track, to reach the bottom safely.

It’s time to drop your saddle, change into a good gear and start to descend into the eagle’s nest. Flying around the corner into a 600m climb, gets everyone ready. After a bit of a climb the fun begins. From log rolls to jumps that you can roll or take flight the Eagle’s Nest track keeps you on your toes. From going full gas to cruising it down, either way it’s heaps of fun. Whether you are a pro, or a beginner, this trail is for you. The trail features respect the environment, yet match its beauty. I highly recommend this trail and it is definitely the best trail in Bridgetown so far. I rate this trail 4.5/5 stars as this trail has easy access and is for all riders.
