Off-road Cycling
- fitness, fun, adventure -
Off road cycling starts with a thorough safety briefing and basic skills session. Participants are
then led on the vast network of 'single-track' trails through the bush at Coolamatong. Off-road
cycling provides the perfect opportunity to appreciate the local environment. Best of all, the tracks
are predominantly flat and provide a soft but stable riding surface.
A feature of the off-road cycling session includes bike orienteering in the bush paddock. Students enjoy
the excitement of undertaking the course in small groups using a map to locate hidden markers. This
activity is perfect for catering for a wide range of cycling abilities and often it is the slower
riders who take their time to follow the map who plot the quickest course and finish first.
The mountain bikes at Coolamatong are Diamond Backs featuring single speed, aluminium frames and
front suspension. Campers love them.
Normal group numbers for Off-road Cycling are 10 - 12 per group.
