Ever been riding in Albury???? Expand your trail palette and visit the best mountain biking on the Murray.
Albury/ Wodonga have some of if not the best trails in the region. One of the many highlights of the area is the custom built XC course consisting mainly of very cool and groovy single trail. The climbs weave their way up Nail Can Hill before the adrenaline rush kicks in and the loss of elevation begins. This incredible descent includes some brilliant sections like No More Secrets, Dirt Luge and the cult classic "SHELOBS REVENGE!!"
Come to Albury; experience the trails and the atmosphere created by the exuberant AWMTB gang. You will not be disappointed. Why not come a day early? Get in a few practice laps and watch the downhillers get some air in the Bicycle Superstore Down Hill Event??

Course Description

Starting with a short fire road climb, the course loops around Low Range which includes Roxy's Ramble. Leaving the event centre again the course steadily climbs up the beautifully put together Goat Track and Intestine Trail. When exiting Intestine the crux of the climb begins on the fire road. Steadily to begin with, then a false flat, with the final steep pinch where category placings will no doubt be decided. From here, the highest point, the real fun begins. Descend the initial sections of the intense No More Secrets, then onto the twisting trails of the Dirt Luge, Trail Fairy and then the trail that tops them all "SHELOBS REVENGE". Shelobs is a lightning fast, super smooth piece of single trail that you will never forget. Complete with obstacles that can be taken at light speed with perfect flow that allows the fearless to put the brakes in the back pocket and enjoy the ride!!! The course then loops around to the event centre including a short pinchy climb that will make the legs scream and the quality singles of the Twister. This course will prove popular with riders of all abilities. It's only as hard as you want to make it.
