Mountain bike and gravel riding is the fastest growing recreational activity in WA. WestCycle is committed to promoting and advocating on behalf of the growing number of our community who ride off road, whether it is for recreation, sport or fun. We work with state government departments, local governments, land managers, community members, stakeholders and community groups to deliver the best outcomes for West Australians and maximise the environmental, physical and mental health and economic benefits of mountain or gravel biking for the community.
TrailsWA has developed a detailed list and information of all trails in WA. Trails WA have also developed the Trail Friendly Business Program, which is an initiative to make businesses that offer trail-specific products and services easily identifiable. Click on the links below to learn more!
The Bike it to Ballidu Gravel festival is back in Ballidu this Saturday (21 September) as around 450 gravel riding enthusiasts from around the State plus their entourages turn the tiny Wheatbelt township on its head – but in a good way!
Perth-based gravel specialist Cassia Boglio talks about her experiences riding the biggest events in the US recently.
“Bike it to Ballidu Gravel has really put this place on the map as a gravel destination – there are riders groups coming through here all the time now.”
Nannup Ngoolark MTB Jump Park officially opened last week (19 June) to add another notch in Nannup’s burgeoning mountain bike network.
