20 Mount Ainslie Drive,

Head just outside the city centre and you'll soon come across one of the most action-packed destinations in Canberra: Majura Pines Recreation Area, which is home to the oldest mountain bike trails anywhere in the territory. Hidden among a sprawling landscape of pine trees are bike trails suitable for everyone from beginners to seasoned riders.

The volunteers behind the Majura Pines Trail Alliance have been crafting and maintaining these trails since 2015, which has given rise to a new generation of world-class mountain bike riding talent. With more than 20 kilometres of mapped and signed paths to race down, Majura Pines is one unmissable spot for thrillseekers.
