Highlands Trails

Highlands Trails A mountain bike club based in the Southern Highlands of NSW. Affiliated with AusCycling. Trail-building and advocacy. Mountain bike races.

Responsible for the mountain bike trails in Wingello State Forest and at Welby. Highlands Trails is a mountain bike club that began more than a decade ago as a trail advocacy and trail building organisation, based in Bundanoon in the Southern Highlands. It has been responsible for the development and maintenance of the mountain bike trail network in Wingello State Forest, and is currently recoveri

ng and redeveloping that network following the Morton Bushfire in January 2020. In June 2022, the mountain bike section of Southern Highlands Cycling Club (SHCC) split with the road and track section, and joined with Highlands Trails. Highlands Trails will now run club mountain bike races in the Southern Highlands of NSW. These will be run by the same team of volunteers that have been running the SHCC mountain bike events in 2021/22. Initially, these will utilise the public trails at Welby, and private trail networks at Penrose and Fitzroy Falls. When Wingello State Forest reopens, events will also be run at Wingello.

TRAIL UPDATE - WELBY: RIDE IT IN! πŸ™‚ 🚡

The upgrades to Kev’s Dream - climb out & The Oven, are progressing well, and the trail builders are asking for wheels on the ground to bed it in.

So get it there and enjoy it!

Note: The Oven trail difficulty has been adjusted to "Green/Blue", so don't let the outdated "Black signage" deter you from giving it a go!

Kev's Dream now has two exit points, One that continues on the traditional XC loop towards the Oven, and one that enables Kev's Dream "sessions" that sends riders back towards the start of the trail.

Workers are on site for the next 2 weeks working on improving two areas of the Welby Trail System - these upgrades will ...

Workers are on site for the next 2 weeks working on improving two areas of the Welby Trail System - these upgrades will improve flow and rideability in the gravity areas of our network. Please follow all relevant signs and closures, and be careful near workers and machinery.

TRAIL CLOSURES
12-17/8 - Kevin's Dream + The Oven
18-21/8 - The Jumpline
