Beechworth, VICTORIA

A network of singletracks; a jump park; North Shore trails and more. A North-East Victoria gem just waiting for your treads. Ground Effect has stumped up with AUD$1000 cash in aid of a decent wack of earth moving. Check out http://www.gravitysport.com/chaingang for photos, maps and more info on the Chain Gang.

To find the Beechworth Mtb Park head out along High Street from the centre of town (heading East towards the Football Oval) for 2.5km (road turns to dirt and becomes Alma Rd). Look for the big Beechworth Mountain Bike sign on your left on the corner of Alma and Greenwattle Roads. Simply follow the trail signs to ride the 'Cross Country Loop' and/or the 'Jumps Track'. Currently over 8km of singletrack and counting. Click here to see the Beechworth Mountain Bike Park map. This is a good area to ride in the wet.

The Gravity 12 hr showcases the Beechworth Chain Gangs' trail building expertise. It takes place on 11th November 2006. Find out more at the Gravitysport website.
