Very excited to announce that the Pemberton Gravel Ride Brochure is ready for print! We are extremely lucky to be surrounded by world class forests, rolling hills and preemo gravel.

The routes just scratch the surface of what’s out there but offer a great place to jump into gravel riding from Pemberton. Download the brochure and scope the routes at www.pembertoncycling.com.au

Perfect timing to plan a visit in prep for the Gravel World Champs in Nannup… no pine plantations in sight 😜

Just a quick shoutout to thank manjimup_motors for helping the club procure its new Husqvarna 590BTS blower! One of the strongest blowers on the market it makes light work of the karri leaf and bark drop. It’s so good we are already looking to get a second one!

As the winter rain and storms roll through please ride with caution and report any trail issues through to us.

Stay tuned for Fresh Trail Friday action and maintenance day opportunities. As always, all are welcome, come and be amazed by the power of the new blower!

New Trails in Pemberton!

We’re very excited to announce that the Pemberton Arboretum Trails are officially open 🥳

The Arboretum Trails are a huge step forward for Pemberton, offering a family-friendly riding experience with plenty of progression opportunities for riders looking to build confidence and develop their skills.

One of the best parts? The new trail network is incredibly accessible from town and the existing MTB Park: simply park the car and ride straight out.

The addition of the Arboretum really rounds out Pemberton’s trail offering, with a great mix of steep and mellow terrain, tech and flow, machine-built and hand-built trails. There’s truly something for everyone, all within riding distance of town.

Head over to Trailforks or TrailsWA to explore the new network and start planning your next ride.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in bringing this project to life: from the early planning stages through to the trail builders, land managers, project teams and volunteers. It’s been fantastic to see so many people come together with a shared vision and passion to create a welcoming trail network with fun for all riders.

A while back, we polled everyone to see which version of Pirate Trail you preferred. While the majority wanted it to point downhill, we didn't want to leave the XC crew behind.

We’ve spent some time out in the dirt and come up with a peace treaty!

What’s changed:
XC & DH: The track has been tweaked to allow both types of rides, pinch climbs or rock gardens - chose your own adventure.

New Entry: We’ve opened an alternative DH entry point using the Pinch Track/Hell Mile Climb. (Check the second photo for the "map" on how to find it).

As always, the track has changed so please take a sight lap.

Give it a ride and let us know what you think! We’re keen to hear your feedback.
