Top 10 Bikepacking trails
Bikepacking is the combination of mountain biking and minimalist camping. It provides the freedom of multi-day backcountry mountain bike riding. It’s about exploring places less traveled, both near and far, via singletrack trails, gravel, and abandoned dirt roads, carrying only the essential gear. Ride, eat, sleep, repeat, enjoy!
The Munda Biddi Trail is a long-distance mostly off-road cycling trail in Western Australia. It runs for over 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) from Mundaring to Albany – the longest track of its kind in the world.
The name Munda Biddi means path through the forest in the Noongar Aboriginal language and it runs largely through an undeveloped natural corridor. The track traverses vast areas of unspoiled forests and bushland with mostly gentle terrain. While the track is open year-round, riding conditions are better during spring and autumn, and potentially hazardous from December to March because of the often extreme heat and fire danger at that time of year. As of May 2017, the record for completing the Munda Biddi Trail is four days, six hours and 39 minutes.
Sections of the trail vary in terms of their difficulty and terrain type but it has stages suitable for everyone’s cycling ability and pace. The trail is easily accessible by car, and riders can begin their journey from multiple locations. There are free campsites at various points along the trail, some with more than a day’s ride between them. Detailed maps of the trail are available.
In April 2012, geocaches were placed throughout the Munda Biddi Trail.
The trail is run by the Munda Biddi Trail Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation which was formed to assist the Department of Environment and Conservation and other land managers get the trail project off the ground. The foundation continues to be involved in trail development and planning, including managing volunteers, delivering events and trip planning, among other activities.
