High Point

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.
