You've come a long way, Dalby - Dylan's Ride Blog

Just back from a quick evening ride in Dalby, to see the new trails. Very promising. Apart from the jumps and boards of Dixons Hollow, there's a lot under construction around the start of the black run, and it looks pretty promising. Fast, technical and good fun. It looks like quality manmade trails have come to Dalby Forest at last. I'll be back to see what it looks like when the various bits link up to make a coherent route, rather than the current bits and pieces.

Still. Although I enjoy man made trails, and admit there's quite a buzz you get from a section of trail that has been designed for a bike, my favourite stuff is still what the happy accident of nature and ancient packhorse trails have made. Sure, it's not flowing, and you may find yourself riding anything from a grinding road climb, to a barely rideable mud bath, but that's all part of the fun.
