Not that its a bike trail but we shot this series in Mermaids Cave on Megalong Valley Rd just out of Blackheath... Magic place... especially when it starts raining... the waterfall suddenly just starts roaring...

At 1,065m Blackheath is the highest village along the great western highway (Bell is the only village with in the BMCC area that is higher). There are several options for rides in the area, this description is for the two out and back firetrail rides named Hanging Rock and Anvil Rock - in the one place here as they are so close and similar.
