Easy but fun riding, including some really cool downhill sections. Stopped at a couple of awesome wineries during the day, followed by a... More

Mt lofty descent was great. Fab wildlife spotting (1 large kanga, about 5 or 6 koalas in the wild), SUPER tasty brownies from Ian's wife for morning tea. Bike trail accessible for most but still able to be challenging for more experienced riders too. Recommended! More

We did the Mount Lofty Descents tour and had a great time. The ride down was full of beautiful scenery and we saw some Koalas in the wild. As a beginner mountain biker, the ride was easy to moderate with a few tricky parts. Our guide, Ian, made sure to warn us and give tips on navigating these sections. The... More
