What some riders find easy could be difficult for others, the grading system below is to be considered as a guide only.


Considerations should always be made for weather, roadworks, the size and type of bike, luggage carried and riders ability.


For organised rides, we always preride as close to the event date as possible. This allows us to provide reasonable condition reports, alter routes and make changes prior to the start.


0. Road

All sealed roads.


1. Easy.

Entry level rides, easy sealed and gravel roads with some dirt sections.


2. Moderate.

Your average trail ride with some technical sections, usually rocks, logs, creeks, hills and single track, a diverse ride and the most fun for average & intermediate riders.


3. Challenging.

Be prepared for anything from deeper water crossings to over grown single trail. Hill climbs, sand and mud.

For the competent rider that enjoys mixing enduro sections and longer days on the bike.


4. Tough.

Experienced riders only, may include very long days, deep sand, larger rocks, logs and technical, remote terrain.

A good level of bike fitness is required.


 

Most rides will suit you if:

  • You have at least some offroad bike riding experience.

  • Are prepared for unexpected conditions.

  • Are interested in a fun and inclusive riding environment.

  • Expect to help others in the group and be helped in return.

  • Are passionate about sustainable land access.

  • Respect the need to ride responsibly.

We look forward to riding with you soon.
