Which Trail For You?
The mountain bike trails at Majura Pines use the IMBA trail classification system. Descriptions of each of the trail type can be seen below. It is important to understand which trail type is suitable for your skills.
 | Green Circle Flowing, open trails on firm terrain with moderate gradients. Surface may be uneven or loose at times. May include small, roll-able obstacles. Recommended for beginner riders. |
 | Blue Square Typically narrow trails with loose, rocky or slippery sections and hills with some steep sections. Will include some larger obstacles. Recommended for intermediate riders with some previous mountain biking experience. |
 | Black Diamond Variable surfaces, including rocks and roots, and/or steep gradients. Large obstacles and technical trail features. Recommended for experienced riders with good technical skill levels. |
 | Double Black Diamond (dark red signs and lines on map) Highly variable surfaces, very challenging terrain including lots of rocks and very steep gradients. Committing and unavoidable obstacles and technical trail features that may not be roll-able. Recommended for very experienced riders with a high level of technical skill. |
Conditions
The Majura Pines do not drain well. If there has been recent rain in Canberra, please consider if it is suitable to ride at Majura. Riding wet trails can damage them and create more work for our volunteers.
The table below is a list of the current known trail issues:
If you have come across a trail issue, such as a fallen tree, that is not on the list above please send an email to majurapinestrails@gmail.com.
Share the Trail
A range of activities including walking, dog walking, trail running, orienteering, horse riding and mountain bike riding are available at Majura Pines. You are very likely to encounter all of these users as well as maintenance vehicles so please familiarise yourself with the trail etiquette. Courtesy is the best safety on the trail. Communicate with your fellow trail users to ensure everyone’s safety.
Horse riding
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
Walking and running
Walkers, runners and orienteering users can utilise the vehicle tracks, bidirectional cross-country mountain bike trails or go cross country between the trees. Take care on the vehicle tracks in the south-western corner of the Majura Pines where downhill trails cross vehicle tracks. Mountain bike riders descend at high speed on these downhill trails.
Dogs at Majura Pines
Dogs are allowed off-leash. People with dogs must keep other users in mind and ensure your dogs remain under control at all times. All dog droppings in public places must be removed by the dog keeper. All dogs must be on-leash when in the adjacent nature reserves.
