Tchans is further away in the southern aspect of the Ranges and is accessible 70m up Bartlett Track. This track can be done as a climb or descent, so beware of other users, but they will hear you whooping with delight as you descend this track!! This has all the elements of a fun MTB trail. There are lots of corners, lots, with wide berms and fast straight sections back and forth through native bush. A large log rollover will test your strength and determination. The trail finishes near the intersection of Barges and Bartlett fireroads. Tchan was visiting Australia from France and gave us a piece of MTB heaven ‘with pleasure’.
