Hi, I'm planning a trip to the Barossa Valley, with the Yetti of course, and was wondering if anyone had inside information on trail rides in the area. I'll be hiring a camper van, so mobility won't be a problem. I'll be looking for cross country tracks so a mixture of single track and dirt roads would be the norm I guess, I am an experienced rider with about 7 years under the belt but not looking for anything too narly… I'm looking to go within the next two months.

What is The Kowalski Classic?

For nigh on two decades, local trail building legends Paul Cole, Alan Anderson and the mysterious Kowalski Brothers have been hand-crafting trails in the ACT region. Thanks to their dirty work, Sparrow Hill and East Kowen Forest have become single track nirvana. The innuagural Kowalski Classic gives you the chance to race it all in one hit. Ride the Bird, then the Kow, then the Bird, then the Kow!

The Kowalski Classic is the ultimate single track enduro with two race distances taking in the very best trails in Sparrow Hill and East Kowen.

Ride Database Entry: 
North Turramurra
Exact Distance: 
0.78Km

Its a loop but best place to start is probably on the firetrail in front of the pump track. Finish is where you started.
Must follow the flow track around the pump track. Must ride the single track up the hill, Not allowed to use the firetrail for a short cut.

No Short cutting!!! That includes the last two corners at the top.

Had a great day, bunged my shoulder in the first 10 mins. Kept on going and finished in around 6:30:00
Decided to head back to Sydney after a little nap.

Downhill sniggle - part 2

A fast blast through the trees over various humps and bumps - it links together to form a rollercoaster of trail - some of the best sniggle at Mt Annan.

Another creek crossing

Overlooking a creek crossing from a bluff, this steep downhill picks up speed quickly, then crosses a rock covered creek into a rock garden climb.
