They&#8217;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.  The only problem was that there were only two flavours 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&#8217;t last too long in the heatwave.  At least I found a nice spot for a swim along the way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conondale National Park Mountain Biking<\/strong><br \/>\n\r\n\t\t<div id=\"wpgpxmaps_313_1569477\"
