I'm quite new in Adelaide and recently upgraded my Mountain Bike. I would like to discover places where to ride but also to meet people riding relatively in a regular basis. Are people meeting every weekend (Saturday/Sunday) in the Meeting Places? In which meeting places? In summary, how it works?

Thanks.
Jordi

Prospect Hill around the Forestry HQ is pretty easy riding, you'll definitely get bored, but then you could zip up the hill for a few laps of the Prospect Hill XC race track after, the trail crew have been busy cleaning it up so it's good to go.
Refer Prospect Hill Map 2 for Forestry HQ area.
Refer Prospect Hill Map 1 for XC race track.

Join the revolution… www.samba.asn.au (South Australian Mountain Bike Association). We need all the help we can get for better access.

Thanx

It's all about getting people outside and active by sharing trails with the rest of the Australian cycling community. You can either upload or draw your trails in the browser and then share them how ever you wish. (or you can keep them private). It's very easy to do. It also has many features that rival it's competition.

If anything I'd love for you to just take a look and let me know what you think otherwise it's free to use.

The url is: http://www.mytrails.com.au

Before you pass this off as spam I'd like to say that my site is completely free and will always be free forever. I'm asking for nothing apart for your feedback. I only wish for this site to be a good resource for anyone who wishes to be adventurous and explore different parts of Australia.

PS: My Trails is also running a competition where you can win a bike computer (funded by yours truly) :D

www.samba.asn.au

I've received heaps of good feedback and have spent the last month implementing the most popular requests:

- Ability to draw your own trails (for people without GPS devices)
- Fullscreen mode
- Location search & Trails close by (you'll be able to see other trails that are close to the area you're looking at)
- Overlays: Youtube, Panoramio, Wikipedia and Webcams
- Descriptions for trails
- Other Bug fixes

As this site is still very new I'd love:

1. People to upload/draw their trails to share with others.
2. Any feedback about the site - good and bad. (any features you'd like to see).

Looking forward to your trails and comments.

I've recently developed a new site based around uploading and sharing trails with the bike community of Australia.

http://www.mytrails.com.au

My aim is to provide riders with a central hub where they can share their trails with other riders or to help them find new trails. The site is aimed towards all types of riders from the casual to the more hardcore.

Members can upload and manage their own trails in GPX or the popular TCX format and keep a list of their favourite trails from other riders. The interactive maps allow you to click and view distance and elevation at any point in real time.

You can view any trail in 'Map', 'Satellite' and even 'Earth' view right from your browser.

Once logged in you can type in your address to get interactive directions on how to get to a trail or share any trail via Facebook, Twitter or Email.

Becoming a member allows you to download any shared map in GPX format. And best of all - it's totally FREE.

As this site is still very young I need:

1. People to upload their trails to share with others.
2. Any feedback about the site - good and bad. (any features you'd like to see).

Looking forward to your trails and comments.

Thanks for doing the map, that's great. I don't know much about the Northern area's so it's good to see what's there.

I have just put together a Google map of a short ride along the Gawler rail corridor.

It is a combination of vehicle access track and single track.

It is only about 5km each way and rather simple, but its fun when you need something more than the road can offer.

Go to http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=107178415746339037611.0004767065225ef821d5b

Enjoy,

Paul.

I certainly wouldn't recommend Callington if you want some cross country downhill, it's very flat and sandy up there. Also you need a local to show you around there otherwise you'll be disappointed.

Sorry to hear you didn't like Fox, sounds like you might have used the official map of the area. It tends to send you along fire road or onto full on downhill. But there is some other great cross country up there, but sounds like you might have missed that.

My best tip would be to join the Adelaide Mountain Bike Club forum and post you question up there, you'll get plenty of responses and maybe also find like minded people to hook up with. They're a pretty good bunch on the forum and always keen to help out.

Great site - it needs more publicity !

We are new to Mountain biking and still building up our fitness. We are 3 dads aged 44, 47 , 45 and 3 boys all aged 12.

We love it and have a window now where we can ride every weekend until October.

We are looking for a longer ride - mostly downhill because we are all still getting bike fit . It could have a few uphill sections but not many .

We are very comfortabel on "blue" tracks and have also done a couple of black but find them a bit challenging still. We didn't really enjoy Fox because you seem to either be riding on a fire access road or plumetting over riocks and drop offs that make your toes curl.

Any recommendations?

I see the Callington Ride - perhaps we could do the first half of that?

Where is the longest downhill ride in and around Adelaide ?

Cheers - any help would be much appreciated

Yeah that's cool, link away. :-)

I tried the link above but it didn't work, is it right?

I'll try again later, maybe it's just a server bug.

Profile and GPS data for Mawson trail climb from Castambul to Fox Creek XC trails.

That's a good idea, I've just been throwing the raw google earth data up, will have a look at putting some markers in. Still learning this google earth stuff. :-)

Rock on squidie, great initiative.

Not racing Sat, too slack. I think I'm in holiday Xmas mode early :-)

Club night was neat.

I can't believe it also has a forum module, and that there are not ads.
