The central spine of Monterey Road, along with the boundary vehicle tracks, provide pleasant riding experiences through the pines. Cavalettis are located at the main entry points.

At a number of locations the mountain bike trails cross the equestrian trails. If you encounter a horse, remember:

+ Horse riders have the right of way over other users on trails; walkers have next priority and then cyclists
+ Cyclists, walkers and runners should stop and ask permission to pass, allowing horse riders time to position their horses for safety
+ Maintain a minimum one metre distance from the horse
+ Avoid frightening the horse by making sudden or large movements or ringing a bike bell
+ Dogs should be kept under control near horses
+ Do not touch a horse without the owner’s permission
