A number of the trails at Majura Pines are suitable for adaptive mountain bikes – and a number aren’t.
You can park at the car park by the beginner area on Majura Rd – the gate here has been widened to allow entry for adaptive bikes. At the Majura Rd car park there is also a toilet that has disabled access, as well as a water tap. Additionally, it is possible to access Majura Pines from Mackenzie Street in Hackett. The entrance gate to Mount Majura Nature Reserve and the top gate between the reserve and the pines have both now been widened.
The following trails are suitable, and popular, with adaptive mountain bikers:
- The Flash – a nice, flat 1km warm up with a number of wide bridges
- Crazy Crab Walk – shorter than The Flash but still fun
- Wombat – wide, flowing green trail. There is a gully dip at the bottom with a slightly steep exit, but the boardwalk at the bottom of the gully is wide
- Smitten Kitten – wide, open turns and gentle gradients
- Planet Claire – Blue Square flow trail, but wide and smooth (or as smooth as Majura gets). Easiest access is straight up the adjacent fire road. The alternate singletrack climbs are tight and quite steep. The exit from the very bottom (in the harvested trees) has one small gully crossing. Can be avoided by only riding the top half of Planet Claire ie the best bit in the mature trees
The following Green trails have bridges 900mm or narrower and are, thus, not suitable for adaptive bike:
With the exception of Planet Claire, most of the other Blue trails at Majura are probably too narrow for adaptive bikes. Pinot Grinio, on winery hill, is a machine build flow trail but it then leads in to Bombora that has several steep gully crossings.
