24.01.2022 While the mechanics were busy running through bike theory our Chairperson and some new friends went out for a sneaky ride at nearby town Collie to check out Tra...il 7, Adaptive Arklow and Deadcats. First WA government funded trails that have taken our guidelines into the design and construction process. Some muddy puddles may or may not have been abused during the ride. #adaptive #mountainbiking #mtb #adaptiveMTB #offroadhandcycle #inclusion #Collie #WesternAustralia #Australia @ Rays Trail See more
23.01.2022 Rod Annear a seasoned presenter at trails conferences was in Collie recently doing a presentation on the business of trails. Using his trip to Derby Tasmania, A...ustralian Mountain Bike summit as an example of how a town can be transformed into a MTB destination. Everything from increased patronage of pubs to real estate boom was covered. These examples are great lessons to learn from for Collie as it starts to transform itself into a Trails Town. Having experts sharing the knowledge will help the town in not making mistakes that other destination have made in obtaining their goals, as the town ramps up for the mtb tourism industry. Rod Annear : "Collie has all the attributes to become a great trail destination. As more trails are built and more bikes start rolling in to town, business will shift to welcome new visitors. There is still a lot to do, but there are great building blocks; local people with vision, a great environment and commitment from Government. Its going to be a great ride and I cant wait to see Collie come alive as a trail town" Looking forward to the future.
22.01.2022 And the new trails (220 return, 7 and 6 now both temporarily called 7 until officially named) have been officially opened by a bevy of politicians, Hon Mark McGowan, Hon Mick Murray, Hon Alannah MacTiernan, Hon Stephen Dawson. Also in attendance was Hon Paul Papalia. Along with a number of our local government representatives, DBCA represenatives, and some riders. Tim

16.01.2022 Please be aware that the first tabletop on Deadcats has been modified. It currently kicks you more than it used to, and doesnt match the speed that is carried on that section of trail. It should be mellowed out by late friday arvo, just ride it with caution. If you feel like a feature or part of the trail needs to be changed, or improved, please contact the Collie Mtb Club or Erik at Crankn Cycles. There are certain guidelines and paperwork that needs to be followed, otherwise we get a smack and it makes it harder for future funding and approval of new trails and features. Enjoy the perfect weather this weekend, and happy riding

12.01.2022 Update on new Collie trails in Arklow. Arklow is a name Western Australians Riders will get to learn in the near future Wikipedia:... "Arklow (from Old Norse Arnkell-lg, meaning meadow of Arnkell, Irish: An tInbhear Mr, meaning "the great estuary")" In local terms it means "A place of great riding trails", in a forest block just north of Collie. Its only a start but but here is some pics for the die hard riders to get an idea of how good it will get.
12.01.2022 Troy Rarick international trails superstar and regular visitor to Collie, reflecting on fears of jumping and current times.
12.01.2022 You will notice what look like false little trails on the side with recently built tracks. These are not the beginning of new trails to be built. They are specifically built sections for water run off from the main trail. Water is the biggest destroyer of heavily used trails and must be kept off as much as possible.... Next time you are out for a ride take note of the dips, water run off points, side slope of the path and reverse gradients, ups and downs to help shed water off. All this helps to get shed water and not allow it to build up or gather speed causing deep ruts. All these design features help with keeping the cost of long term maintenance down to a minimum, creating a very robust trail for the long term. Trail builders are highly trained and must follow strict protocol for the high standard of new trails being built. Enjoy

11.01.2022 A teaser of a log ride being buit in Arklow Collie. Technical Trail Features (TTFs) are exciting for the the more advanced riders and are being incorporated into the new trails as standard. They are optional to ride as you gain confidence over time.
10.01.2022 Do you prefer flow or technical mountain bike trails? Or a bit of both? Under the expert guidance of Deon Baker, four of our construction teams are currently b...uilding a range of new trails in Collie with a variety of section styles to suit the landscape. This section of flow trail, built by Sam Rubery and Roly Kyme, is sure to be a favourite with locals and visitors and has been tested at length by the team to make sure its Just Right! We look forward to riding it with you when its open, forgive us if we get a few more testing laps in before then! See more
10.01.2022 The view from one of our Collie based offices. Our teams have almost finished construction of the additional trails in the Arklow network. With a few key featur...es to install next week and a little bit of compaction to finish up, it wont be long before the public has access to a great range of new trails. Well done to all 4 construction teams working on the ground to deliver another large project in Western Australia. Special thanks to our site supervisor Deon Baker and our team leaders Gerran Turner, Sam Rubery, Alex Jger, Eric Neal for stepping up to hit this one out of the park. Great job all around! We cant wait to see whats next... Photo by Gerran Turner

04.01.2022 The wait is over! New Murray Valley Trails are ready to ride. Trail lovers have probably seen sneak previews of the mountain bike trails being constructed in th...e Murray Valley at Lane Poole Reserve as part of the Dwellingup Adventure Trails project. Today nine new trails, totalling nearly 20km are ready to ride with an official opening ceremony soon. The network at Murray Valley is now around 35kms - enough to keep you busy for a week. Temporary markers and trailheads are in place and the final trail markers and signs will be added soon. See below the new trail network map and a sneak preview of the new trail markers. The Shire of Murray trail and visitor centre in Dwellingup is also now open featuring showers, toilets, bike wash and tool stand - and lots of information and displays inside. Stay tuned for more #wildatheart Josh Cowling and DBCA
04.01.2022 Heres something to look forward to pencil in Sat 19th September for the Dwellingup 100 and Mighty Jarrah Trail Run! Were not taking entries until we have mo...re insight into the easing of restrictions on mass gatherings. But rest assured were doing all we can to put strategies in place that give us the best chance to run this event AND keep you all safe! So get on your bike, get out in the fresh air, run those trails and start dreaming of September. Cant wait to see you all there! IMPORTANT: The Shire of Murray is NOT encouraging visitors to the region at this point in time. Youll be the first to know when they open their doors to head down and train. Please be respectful of the Shires and communitys wishes at this time. #D100 #MJTR
04.01.2022 The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions reports: Arklow MTB Trails Trail 6 (1.7km) is 80 per cent constructed and awaiting rain for final shaping and compaction Trail 7 (2.7km) is 40 per cent constructed.... Trail 11 (7.5km) is 10 per cent constructed. Trail marking and signage is in development. Wiilman Bilya Walk Trail Consultation with Main Roads WA over the completion of Stage 1 (along Coalfields Highway) is ongoing. The Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries has postponed its scheduled tour of Collie due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tour was designed to identify opportunities to work with the community to integrate culture and art developments into the adventure trails projects, maximising community participation and showcasing the heritage and creative aspects of each of the towns. It is hoped the tour can be rescheduled once travel restrictions are lifted.
04.01.2022 Anyone lose a glove at Rays Car Park?
03.01.2022 Autumn is the best time of the year to be on the trails, warm days, cool nights. Mornington Glory built last year is settling in well and getting a lot of traffic. The lines are bedding in and hard to miss. With a couple of log rides for the challenge, its a fast flowing and a favorite end to the ride. ... Built by Ryan Booth and Irish from TR Contracting alongside the evergreen local MTBer Laurie Smith. Excellence comes to mind. Post up any pictures or video of riders doing the log rides. My favorite section to end the ride.
02.01.2022 New Arklow trails are nearly finished.
