At last, a national park with actual mountain bike trails! They’re shared with horse trails and maintenance 4wd tracks, but at least they have SOMETHING here! So yes, I took my Cannondale mountain bike out for a spin in Conondale National Park this morning while it was still a bit cool. Only problem was that there were only two flavors of trails: straight up (Nanga Challenge style) or back and forth meandering through river beds – which seemed to get progressively deeper. I did a bit of both but didn’t last too long in the heatwave. At least I found a nice spot for a swim along the way.
