IMBA Australia just completed a very successful Trail Workshop at Kalamunda thanks to WAMBA, the Dept of Sport and Rec and the Dept of Environment and Conservation. The new Kalamunda  Circuit has been completed by dedicated volunteers and professional trail contractors to create a diverse loop with options to entail 30km of truly awesome single track in a beautiful National Park. Yes, the rest of oz is now playing catch up, because these trails are in beautiful natural bush!

IMBA Au also visited the Goat Farm MTB Park, in Perth, to test out the new skills park and flow trail. It’s awesome! You could spend all day on those two sections alone! Make sure you bring your jump bike to the Nationals! You may even forget you are racing!

As part of the WA Tour, IMBA Australia has secured the services of international trails guru and all round legend, Dafydd Davis. He returns to Oz to share more of his wisdom and insights and provide assistance at the next 3 workshops down south. This weekend we are working with the South West MTB Club and Peel MTB Club to run two workshops in Wellington Mills, then it’s on to Margaret River for full day forum with local land mangers and business people. After that we will be visiting Pemberton bike trail hub to see how we can assist and support tourism growth in the region.

To cut a long story short, WA should definitely be on your MTB Bucket list!
