Mountain bike rider safety• Ride trails that match your skill level. The trail grading system helps riders to

decide.

• Riders are required by law to wear an Australian Standards helmet.

• Mountain bikes should be in good working order.

• Always ride under control. Out of control riders are a danger to themselves and other park users.

• For your safety and the safety of others, obey all signage especially cautionary signs.

EQUIPMENT FOR DOWNHILL RIDING

Full faced helmets (Australian Standard Certified) should be worn when downhill riding and protective equipment such as gloves, elbow, knee and shin pads, neck brace, chest and spine protection, mountain bike with minimum front suspension, working front and rear brakes, and adequate tread on tires.

TRAIL GRADING

Majura Pines trails are graded using the International Mountain Bike Association’s (IMBA) trail difficulty rating system.

The IMBA trail difficulty rating system is used to categorise the relative technical difficulty of recreation trails. The IMBA system helps riders to make informed decisions about the trails they choose to ride and gives them an understanding of the level of skill required.

TRAIL ETIQUETTE FOR MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDERS

• Slow down at intersections, particularly equestrian trail intersections, where you are likely to meet other trail users.

• Announce your presence known to other users by calling out or ringing a bell well in advance.

• Minimise your impact by staying on the built trail network.

• Avoid riding in wet, muddy conditions. Ride through puddles that extend across the track rather than widening the trail by going around them.

Majura Pines was established as an ACT Government commercial pine plantation forest in the 1950s and continues to be managed as a commercial plantation. Since the current crop of trees were planted in 1985 – 1986, it has become a popular recreation area.

Recreational usersA range of activities including walking, dog walking, trail running, orienteering, horse riding and mountain bike riding are available at Majura Pines.

You are very likely to encounter all of these users as well as maintenance vehicles so please familiarise yourself with the trail etiquette.

TRAIL ETIQUETTE FOR ALL USERS

Courtesy is the best safety on the trail. Communicate with your fellow trail users to ensure everyone’s safety.

Horse ridingThe central spine of Monterey Road, along with the boundary vehicle tracks, provide pleasant riding experiences through the pines. Cavalettis are located at the main entry points.

Walking and runningWalkers, runners and orienteering users can utilise the vehicle tracks, bi-directional cross-country mountain bike trails or go cross country between the trees.

Take care on the vehicle tracks in the south-western corner of the Majura Pines where downhill trails cross vehicle tracks. Mountain bike riders descend at high speed on these downhill trails.

Dogs at Majura Pines

Dogs are allowed off-leash. People with dogs must keep other users in mind and ensure your dogs remain under control at all times.

All dog droppings in public places must be removed by the dog keeper.

All dogs must be on-leash when in the adjacent nature reserves.

Mountain bike riding The Majura Pines has some of the oldest and most famous mountain bike trails in Canberra.

For beginners

The beginner area is east of the Majura Parkway and is accessible from the Majura Road car park. The trails provide a fun and interesting introduction to mountain bike riding for both children and adults. It is the perfect place for beginner mountain bike riders to develop their skills.

Skills area

A skills area has log rolls, log rides, berms and flat corners located on a circuit track perfect for practicing and develop technical skills.

Cross country trails

Cross country mountain bike trails at Majura Pines are bi-directional. Walkers and runners also use the cross country trails.

The main intermediate cross-country loop links riders to the more advanced technical cross country trails and challenging climbs that are located on the steeper slopes and flow trail descents on the easier downhill trails.

Downhill and flow trails

The intermediate to advanced downhill trails located in the south-western corner of Majura Pines are for experienced riders only. The Winery Hill descent, Pinot Grinio, is a flow track suitable for beginner downhill riders.

Features on the downhill trails include bermed corners, table top jumps, double gap jumps, drops and rock sections. Easier b-line options are provided for advanced features and all double gap jumps can either be rolled or have b-lines.

Downhill riders please slow down when crossing vehicle tracks and watch for other users.

Dirt jumps

Intermediate through to advanced level dirt jumps are co-located at Majura Pines to encourage a social and supportive dirt jumping community.

Each dirt jump line is clearly marked with the level of difficulty.

WARNING: SPORTING ACTIVITIES AT MAJURA PINES PARK MAYBE DANGEROUS AND MAY RESULT IN INJURY, DEATH AND OR PROPERTY LOSS OR DAMAGE.
