Hornsby MTB

Hornsby mountain bike park

Hornsby mountain bike park is a project built by the community for the enthusiastic bikers of all levels. Whether you are a beginner, intermedia or if you consider yourself a pro mountain biker. There is always a trail for you and a trail that challenges your skills. Getting to the park is a fairly easy task. All you need to do is catch the train to Hornsby train station and ride your bike for less than 5 minutes to get there. It's totally workable as well if you are all fancy and decide to drive your car with a couple tag along friends.

On my map it says "Blue gum walk", but it's actually where the entrance to most trails are. There will be signs and maps at the location. Just look out for them.

Atmosphere of the park

The park is very pleasant to be in. You can meet a lot of other bikers and share your biking experience with them. They are mostly friendly as far as my experience goes. If you use apps like strava.com, you can compare your result with other bikers, or you can set your personal goals. It is always a great idea to check the status of the park before you go. The community has set up a twitter account @Hornsby MTB that frequently updates.

This trail is just a rectangular loop, called "Green Blast". It's where you go fast and furious and ramp high! (image by Darren)
There are benches if you need to rest, but there you can also sit on rocks if you feel like it. (image by Darren)

Busaco trail Having a rough day? Mountain biking is an effective and positive outlet to turn to when you are stressed out. It will bring adventure into your life, so forget about your responsibilities and get close to the nature on a mountain bike. One of the great thing about mountain biking is that you get to race through the beauty of the earth. Nature can make a person happier, less stressed and more energetic. Mountain bike is very suitable for poor uni students like me because most trails out there are free. Busaco trail by Darren Chang Location of the trail If you are interested in mountain biking, I strongly recommend you to try out Busaco trail. It's very beginner friendly and has great scenery. There are multiple entries to get to the trail, but I go through Browns Waterhole Track. The green area where the trail is located is mostly covered with other trails. You can also explore other trail in the area. Author: Darren Chang
