Ride MTB

From animal tracks to overgrown fire and logging trails, back in the early days of MTB every unsealed track was worth a look see. That none were designed in any way for MTB just added to fun and adventure. The Bump Track in Mowbray National Park is one such trail that has been enjoyed by mountain bikers for over 25 years. After a great day at Atherton Forest Mountain Bike Park I figured it was fitting to head back in time and enjoy some old school MTB on the infamous Bump Track before continuing on to Smithfield.
