Longest Downhill (or mostly downhill)?
Mij (guest) 1250492369|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Hi

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

Hi Mij,

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.
