The newest of the Collie MTB Trails the Collie Wagyl Biddi starts at Soldier’s Park and consists of five trails that are suitable for riders of all levels and hand bikes.
The trail is designed around a key beginner classification spine trail linking Soldiers Park to Reserve 15783. Connecting loops, ranging from beginner to intermediate, provide a variety of riding experiences. All loops can be ridden as a circuit without crossing or doubling back which is advantageous for racing formats.
