A short aerobic out and back workout in a shady valley.
Bobbin Head
At a Glance
Fast Descent
Bobbin Head track has a great peice of firetrail with man switchbacks. Just enough room between them to get some good speed and enjoy. There's the grind back up here or along the road ahead so make the most of it!
Bobbin Head
Ah... very nice. Sit and chill for a while (or take in the winter sun as we did this day).
End of Sphinx Trail
This rubble slope is about as far as Spinx goes (well, there's 20m or so behind the camera man here and that's it).
Very easy fire trail along the ridge top with a couple of fast downhill sections if you're up to it, this is perfect for the absolute beginner.
Clarinda St

Clarinda St to Galston Rd. Western side of Hornsby Plateau
A fast, in parts technical, mostly downhill fire trail which can be linked to the nearby Quarry Road Track or done on its own for a 10 or so kilometer loop, including some road linkage. Has some steep climbs, though there aren't any nearly as long as in QRT. One advantage to the track is that there are numerous exit points along the way if needed.
Dargle Farm

A private track no longer used for some events. Owner asked WSMTB to stop events in 2010
Galston Recreation Reserve
At a Glance
A network of fire trails leading off from the Galston Aquatic Centre.
Jubes Mountain Bike Park
At a Glance
Sydney's first of its kind; a MTB facility that's suitable both for the family as well as those out to train/have fun. Recently re-opened, it, along with OMV, has helped to turn the Upper North Shore into a place that has some genuinely good purpose built riding.

Firetrail at Lane Cove National Park
Located to the North of Macquarie Uni, trails range from rocky fire trails along the creek, sealed commuter cycle trails in the South, & roughly concreted steep sections in the NW.
Marramarra National Park
At a Glance
Steep Stuff
The camera never does this sort of thing justice, but really, this is one crazy, crazy guy section.
Collingridge Point View
The view from Collingridge Point - a Southern out and back from Coba Ridge Fire Trail and very nice too! Guess the fog here is rather unusual and makes for a top view.
Another view without the fog is here.
Coba Ridge Fire Trail
Somewhere on the Coba Ridge Fire Trail - the bike (and hence uphill route) are on the return from the point.
Wide range of trails from the rather leisurely Collingridge Point out and back to the wild technical descent of Smugglers Track and killer climb from the creek up Marramarra Ridge Trail - this place pretty much has it all.
North Turramurra
At a Glance
Fire trail with some single track options, linking the Murrua Track at North Turramurra with the Grosvenor Track at North Wahroonga.

****FIRST STAGES OF NEW TRAIL NOW OPEN - MORE TO COME ****
Mostly cross country single track, built to IMBA standards, OMV is a combination of hand cut, machine cut, slick rock, rock armoured and timber board walk. Except for the Green Loop, OMV is relatively challenging with tight rocky sections, short pinch climbs, and includes extensive berms and rollers that help the rider maintain momentum and flow.
Stage 1
Green loop = 0.4km
Blue loop = 2.8km
Blue inc Black loops = 3.2km
Please use the new tyre scrubber on Quarry Road to remove mud from tyres - (Plant disease control).

NPWS Trail Restiction Safety Notice - Hornsby Rifle Range
RESTRICTIONS APPLY - KEEP OUT OF THE RIFLE RANGE - CHECK SIGNS
Bring plenty of water and a few snacks, remember hills are you friends because without climbing them you would not be going downhill.
Be prepared for a hill fest this out and back trail has plenty to offer even if it is only firetrail. Give it a try and see for yourself.
Westleigh - H2O
At a Glance
An almost official network of hand made sniggle on the old Water Board site. A good mix of green, black and blue loops to test most riders. Small jumps run.
