        The ACT is quite rightly labelled as the singletrack capital of Australia. Whilst most of the trails have an XC feel there is something for everyone here.

        Stromlo stands out as the jewel in the crown and has hosted World Cups. However there is plenty on offer - and new trail developments taking place - in plenty of other locations.

        Take this trail almost any day in the hour before sunset and you'll be riding through kangaroos. They eat the grass that this track runs over. Maybe it should be renamed Kangaroo View? The trail itself has a couple of challenging...
