What to expect: A wide variety of trails, from what you can take your 6-year-old on through to black trails that will scratch up your test bike. Pea gravel. There is a mix of trail surfaces, but Dwellingup still has plenty of it.
Where to stay: There are plenty of accommodation options. Dwellingup Holiday House is in a really convenient location for riding, and well-equipped.
Best coffee: Waypoints Café
Best place for a meal: Blue Wren Café is a long-time favourite for lunch, or for a good pub feed head to the Dwellingup Hotel for dinner.
Don’t miss: a trip out to Treetops Adventure if you’re after a bit more of an adrenaline hit, or take a ride on the Hotham Valley Tourist train if something a little more tame is more your speed.
AMB’s must ride trails
Inzamia: This trail takes you on
a journey from the sparse forest with pea gravel turns, steep tight switchback berms in the middle, to all out speed in dense forest
at the bottom. You’ll be grinning from ear to ear and thinking about another lap by the time you get to the bottom.
Quokkamoly: It’s only short, but who doesn’t love a bit of an old school descending through the pines. If only there was more of it.
Blue Marron: The hardest blue trail in Dwellingup, a trail to progress your skills. Turns, jumps, rock gardens, off camber sections and steep in places, this one has it all and is so rewarding when you get it right.
“The trail narrows and turns dark as we enter the thick pines, but the speed doesn’t drop off. Punching gaps between the trees before we know it, we hit the flat turns and are climbing to the final section of the trail.”
