Inverell

Mountainbiking in central northern NSW has a lot to offer. Inverell local area has a variety of levels of trails to ride on. Check out these spots.
The Goonoowigall Reserve 6km south west of the township offers beginner level trails. The terrain is well graded in most places made up of light gravel over hardpack. Features include plenty of small water bars, small step-ups and downs, and granite smooth rock sections. In the most southern section of the Waterfall Circuit, the main arterial trail, it does get a little tough with a series of single track pinch climbs in the clockwise direction. The trails are frequented by plenty of walkers, be wary of groups. Goonoowingal Waterfall Circuit is a 5km loop nice for a quick blast.
Still in Inverell, SE of town, head down Rifle Range Rd for 4km, take the RH Y and continue for 300m. This is where you will find more advanced trails. This are is also frequented by Motos but I was alone the morning I visited. There is a great quick loop that winds its way over the hill, best ridden anti-clockwise. You utilise the granate rock face for climbing then sweep off the top into a heap of nice burms and jumps.
There is a ton of trails to be discovered. I linked in additional short single tracks leading off from the general area, again it used the smooth rock sections for climbing sections. It was an easy spot to find and great riding for an hour or two. Get out here for XC and light FR.
To further explore the area on MTB, speak to the boss of Bikes on Byron in Inverell. There is no longer a MTB Club in town, but I heard talk of a comeback. It seems MTBs are out selling the other bikes locally. Road cycling is big in Inverell I found out, there were small groups of teenagers getting around town on two skinny wheels and in lycra. For more info on road rides ask at the local bike store on Byron.
