An amazing place to ride, I and several buddies went last year, very chalenging, very FUN, would recommend to anyone that loves MTB as I do, although I wouldn't recommend this for learners. :)

We love it... nice and long red route and once you have been a few times and get to know it you can map out your own loops...

An annual car pass costing ■42 will save you loads of money if your a regular like me, i love Dalby red route, it is challenging, with lungbusting climbs and fast twisting decents, highly recommended!
