The day unfolds as follows: Meet Sam at the confirmed time and location. Sam will properly set you up on your bike and ensure you have one of his high-quality helmets fitted correctly (safety first!). Expect to spend 30-40 minutes with Sam as he goes over bike operation, trail information, and some excellent skills and technical tips. With a map in hand, you’re off on an incredible adventure. Sam welcomes high fives, hugs, knuckles, and any excitement you bring back from your journey.
We use Merida Big 7/9 mountain e-bikes, chosen as the perfect match for the Blue Mountains fire trails and the average person’s needs. These fantastic bikes are equipped with Shimano components, including the motor and battery.
After this amazing ride, check out some of the fantastic cafes in Blackheath Village. You could also gear up for the incredible “Grand Canyon” walk from Blackheath, a highly-rated 2-3 hour hike.
With scenic valley views across the Grose Valley and crisp mountain air, this ride follows the fire trail along the ridgeline to the spectacular Baltzers Lookout and the breathtaking Hanging Rock. Unlike other lookouts in the mountains, there is no safety fence here, giving you an unobstructed view that feels like the edge of the world!
This is a typical “out and back” Blue Mountains ride – the easy navigation and relatively short distance make it ideal for less experienced cyclists looking to spend some time on the dirt and get closer to nature. That’s not to say more experienced cyclists won’t enjoy it; the flowing trails will bring a smile to any rider’s face. And besides, the views are more than enough to keep everyone happy! Riders generally complete the ride in 3 hours.
