This time on Five Minute Rides I'm riding what might just be Sydney's toughest trails at the Woronora mountain bike trails. See it on Trailforks: www.trailforks...
These are my local. I find it just requires confidence and good line choice. I won’t lie, the trails are hard. But it’s a lot of slow speed maneuvers, with the fast sections being only smaller rocks and flowy sections. So it’s not too difficult if you take your time. Therefore the dreadful bike-destroying high speed jank is nowhere to be found. But still I won’t lie, some parts of Woronora can be sketchy and scary as hell! So great effort, and I recommend giving them another go when you feel up to it.
Thanks ive been back twice now and finding myself noticeably improving each time. The main deterrent now I think is the gnarly rides back up the road. 😂
@@FiveMinuteRides That road is a killer! What’s worse is when you’ve finished your ride but you still need to get back up to Sutherland, the only way is up and it’s steep, long, and soul crushing
@@rachelpanth5527 so you find it better to go slow and take your time (thought that would cause stops from hitting tech at too slow a speed) then go faster over all of it?
Done bottlecap bandits today on my 140mm trail hardtail with great effort my mate stacked it multiple times on his 160 enduro dualie once we got to the end we trekked through the mangroves to get to the worronora rsl fun but challenging trail until you need to get back out
Have no idea unfortunately. My local tour guide wasn’t sure of the name so we just hit it. I’ll try to find out if I can, unless it’s a local secret...
Those are janky af mate most riders would struggle on those. Anytime you want to hit Appin up let me know. Mainly blue trails with a spattering of black, pretty much on one section.

Dont be too discouraged! These are hard trails! Plus an enduro bike would help a fair bit!
Very hard. But I’m keen to head back soon for another try.

Nice vid mate, keep up the progress. I'm just wondering if you had to pay any duties or anything when your Canyon arrived in Aus. Cheers.
Hi mate. No not at all. Thanks for watching.
What bike is your friend on mate?
That’s a custom build. Literally have no idea what it was originally.
Absolutely love bottle caps
It’s cool. Will have to head back out there again sometime soon.
Nice video mate . Well edited
Cheers thanks. Check out my others if you haven’t already and sub for more to come.
which way up after bottle cap? what is the second trail?
Have no idea unfortunately. My local tour guide wasn’t sure of the name so we just hit it. I’ll try to find out if I can, unless it’s a local secret...
Well done. I’m close by and ride it rarely until I got an ebike with 140 travel, now I really enjoy them.
Rode in this area again on Saturday. Steep DH and steep back up all the way.
what a 6 min 5 min rides video!!!!! ILEGAL
Yep. Robbed you of the extra minute!
Nice edit mate.
You have encouraged me to not ever go to Woronora lol.
Oh the jank..
Haha yeh I’ve hit that place a bunch of times now. It’s challenging. Not necessarily fun. But challenging 🤣

Agreed. Keen to give it another crack tho. Thanks for the offer. I’ll let you know when I’m in the area some time 👍
Jason is an awesome dude, used to work with him at TBSM and he can ride!
Yeh he mentioned that he knew you 👍
@@FiveMinuteRides He's actually an escaped mental patient. You were quite lucky to survive the experience.
I'd say the answer to the title question is, not even close to the hardest trails in Sydney. Garigal is where it's at ;)
Don’t know where that is but might have to take a look 👌
