Adelaide MTB Trails - new forum threads

New Australian Bike Trails Site

Wed, 26 May 2010 04:36:44 +0000

Hi Guys,

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.

Mark

Gawler Belt - Rail trail

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:29:47 +0000

Hi all.

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.

Longest Downhill (or mostly downhill)?

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 06:59:29 +0000

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

Add start and direction pointer?

Hey there Burping Squid — I've not downloaded your trails yet, but from a quick squiz at the image caps (ie callie epic) it'd be helpful to add an annotation to indicate the start of the trail and the direction of travel.
