Distance:

Vertical Climb:
1600m
Vertical Drop:
1600m Grand tour of the classic All Mountain trails on Hassans Wall
Wasn't sure how this one would end up.
Set off and caught a site of the rare and endangered Meggsie-on-a-bike, this is the second siting in 2 weeks so it appears they could be back from the brink of extinction. It was such an honour to interact with one in it's natural habitat....
Umm we headed on up and hit the Town House track and then came back around town where Meggsie decided that was enough for his second ride back in far too long.

Vertical Drop:
444m Motor bike loops a bit of a mess with deadfall and ruts at the moment
This one was tough. All the hills normally doable but the first bit of single trail is all but unrideable due to dead fall meaning I was off pushing far more than I would have liked

Wherever you park, take the West (Webbs Creek) ferry across and ride along St Albans road. After 5.3km on the black stuff you'll find a left turn into the fire trail. This is the beginning of the Womerah Range and a steep climb:
