Ready to Ride

Written by Finch Hatton MTB Crew
24 February 2024

Worth the wait

We are stoked to announce that over half the trails at Finch Hatton MTB are now Ready to Ride. This is a great opportunity to roll some tyres on the trails and help pack them down after recent delays due to wet weather. A mix of easy, intermediate, and expert trails will be ready to ride.

These are the first of the Stage 1 trails, with remaining trails expected to be unveiled in the coming weeks. Visitors are advised to observe signage at the site and stay off closed trails.

While we’re excited to welcome our first riders, unpredictable weather could lead to closure of the trails at short notice. News of any closures will be made via our social channels. Our Trails page and Trailforks will also have the most up to date info on the trails.

Here they are – our Ready to Ride trails as of today, Saturday 24 February.
