CROSS COUNTRY

 

Cross Country - XC

 

Stromlo Forest Park boasts over 35 kilometres of trunk trails including designated tracks for various levels.

Using the natural lay of the land, natural and manufactured obstacles, the XC tracks are perfect for training, recreational riding or even sightseeing. The tracks located near the peak of Mount Stromlo provide a perfect setting to see Civic, Black Mountain Tower, Parliament House, Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra Airport and the picturesque Brindabella Mountains.

With over 50km of open trails to chose from there is no need to make your own trails. Stromlo Forest Park is a master planned world-class mountain bike facility and unauthorised track modifications are prohibited and may result in the closure of the trails.

These trails were designed by world-class Mountain Bike Track designer, Glen Jacobs, but built and will be maintained with the volunteer work of Canberra Off Road Cyclists (CORC). Please respect the work that has been completed and ride responsibly on open trails only - Remember that the way you behave today will influence trail management decisions and policies now and into the future.

Pedestrians and spectators wishing to use the cross country cycling tracks, including the trunk trail are welcome to but must give way to cyclists and keep away from these tracks, for safety, during events.

 

Recommended Equipment

A helmet (Australian Standard Certified), mountain bike with tread on the tyres and working front and rear brakes.
