Finding a trail gem in a bushstack

The process of finding great mountain bike trails is a long one! We have done many many hours of wandering through bush on the vague hope that a shadow on google earth is a ride-able track. Many of these journeys end in nothing more than leg scratches and imaginary plans to build a suspension bridge over a cliff. But the last week has produced some real gems. There is nothing more rewarding than finding an epic cattle track that completes that magical loop that has always eluded you.  Just when you are expecting a long hike-a-bike, a single track emerges that is perfectly ride able. Love It!  

Then we found this incredible trail above Heidelberg that must just become a trail! A magical piece of trail that runs across a rocky ridge. We did not have our bikes with us but we will be back to ride this little gem. We even found a gravel road which we hope is ride-able that makes a perfect access trail. What a find! Always makes a mountain bike trail more special when you've done all the work to make it appear.
