"Mijn visie met deze track was om zo veel mogelijk mensen mogelijk te maken"
​dr mel of the brook

Hi everyone, I've created a map for the MTB track around town. I'm coining this MTB track a family affair so that it will be attractive for young families.
It's 17.22 km in total of which about 6 km is perfectly flat. The tracks can be ridden by children aged 8 years and over although the distance of 17 kms is a bit far for that age. The track can be easily broken up. The trail is built so that it helps children develop more skills on the bike and so is good stepping stone to develop this as a hobby.
This is clearly in contrast with other towns that have tracks which is for very fit and skilful riders. I find that level isn't so attractive for my children.
You can see the map on your phone now as well. So even easy to find for strangers. All you need to do is follow a line on google maps, we're also working on signage of the track.

TOUR SECTIONS

Snottygobble

This is the track for the boys and girls who think about training. There is some hill climbing here as you go into the valley 2x. So guess what, you have to climb out 2x. If it is a bit much .... On the signs you'll get a bail out which takes you back to blue Walk trail around town. Just send your fit bike mate up and down once more and you go to the beginning of the blue trail.

Walk track around town

This blue track is the walk track around town called the bicentennial, so please be careful for walkers. It connects the 3 MTB tracks and makes for a nice scenic ride around town and certainly you still feel it's relaxing on the bike. There is hardly anything technical about it, most of it is downhill or flat.

Skelly Wag

This is perfectly flat, great to ride warm or to get the kids confidence up. In summer you can cross the river as it is very shallow with some rapids. See whether you can cross the river on your bike here? It's a great venue for a picnic and also there is a geocache hidden here. Just download the geocache app and it's not that hard to find.

Alecktrack Roo Run

On the way out it's all flat and you go past Roo Gully, the Roo sanctuary. However on the way back, you'll get a surprise. On the map it appears you're just going in and out, but hey wait there is more .... This section is a slight challenge physically and technically, nothing dangerous.

We look forward to welcoming you to Boyup Brook!
