Mother Nature forced us off our original course but riders don’t let down your guard. Actually, better brace yourselves because we’ve got something to delight you single track lovers: Douglas mountain bike reserve, Townsville’s premier XC and All mountain trail network.

The 2018 XCM course is a mouth watering serving from this suburban single track smorgasbord. Flowy single track, techy rock roll downs, berms, structures, views of sprawling neighbourhoods below, all with a tropical ocean and island backdrop to have you screaming for more.

Get ready for an all-you-can-eat riding feast.

      		Added some rock to the first rock step going up. It was a bit undercut. (photo) so should ride better up. Also smoothed out the hump near Tower Link, but not sure how long that will last.

      		The majority of the trail remains firm with very few softer patches that leave sign without bogging in. There is no trail erosion however if more rain falls I would consider closing the trail

      		Majority of trail is very firm there are a few soft spots that leave trace however are not digging in. One corner in particular about midway up did look firm however was sloppy and slippery. Any further decent rain I would consider closing the trail.
