Hey gang,

September me and my buddies are planning a road trip to Canberra. We will be spending most of our time at Mt Stromlo for the Worlds MTB Championships.

Dates is Friday 4th til Sunday 6th September.

Thing is none of us have been to Canberra and dont have a clue what the go is up there. I cant even find Mt Stromlo in an Atlas.

Love some feedback.

Cheers James

I don't ride mountain bikes but have mates that do its supposed to be an epic course. Canberra is small you can drive from one end to the other in like 45min so you can see all of our limited things to see. there is a road that's used for difting not far from mount Stromlo its used for riding motorbikes as well. nice and twisty!!!

He something like 36 now.

Sam didn't really carve it up :( Not his kind of track.

But he did win the championship last weekend. Woohooo!

Sam is all about speed, im not sure how many of you have ridden the stromlo track.

It sorta just weaves back and forth to make it longer.

It was a pretty poor choice as the track to represent Australia
