Read MoreWell, if this turns out to be my last MTB ride, what a cool way to go out!
The Lake Mountain Super G descent is an absolute cracker of a ride. 12km long, starting at the top of Lake Mountain and ending at the resort ticket box down in the valley below it’s everything an MTB ride should be. Backcountry, fast, long descents interspersed with good climbs. Old school singletrack, walking trail, contemporary MTB trail and more. And at the end of it a cruisey 10km climb up the sealed road back to the top of the mountain.

With limited time on the first visit I rode lower (and easier) trails including Grevid’s Way, Gorilla Warfare, Caros Track, Twisties and the Pump Track. Though riding in pine plantations isn’t my favorite thing – much prefer being in native Australian bush – it was good fun to be rolling around on unfamiliar trail.
