FAQ

Where do I find information about the trails?

Munda Biddi Trail Foundation | Bike packing & mountain bike trail

How do I get started?

This is a hard questions as there are lots of answers!

1. Got your own bike? Check out the list of trails and get out there and explore!!!
2. Don’t have a bike! Come and hire one from us! Rock and Roll Mountain Biking are based in
the Kalamunda Hills and you can roll out of there shop onto the trails! They will give you a
map and directions!!!!
3. Don’t have a bike and nervous that you will get lost? Join Rock and Roll Mountain Biking on
a tour or clinic and get guided through the fun trails suitable for your riding level!!!
4. I want to ride with others!!!!!
This can be confusing! The mountain biking community in WA is huge and has something for
everyone!

Different disciplines, different bikes and riding at all different levels! You don’t join just one
club like with football or hockey – you can belong to lots of club and most is done via
facebook pages.
XCO (Cross
Country)

Tour (Bike XCM


Packing) (Marathon)

Moutain
Biking

Cyclocross Gravity
Enduro (GE)

DownHill
(DH)

So this is how I think of it! Jen’s very simplified mtb guide.

XCO – fitness and skilled needed – riding up and down hills - riding as fast as you can for a
set amount of laps!

GE – riding as fast as you can down technical trails, one go only on different trails each time.
Depending on your location you need to make your own way up or get a shuttle but this part
is not timed!!!!

DH – fast technical and like its name down a big hill. One track – riding it twice and fastest
time wins.

Cyclocross (Crazy Euro racing)– Cyclocross is a very specific type of bike racing. For the most
part, the course is off-road, but there are sometimes portions of pavement included in the
course. You can expect to encounter grass, dirt, mud, gravel, sand, and a whole slew of other
assortments and combinations.

Below is a list of clubs and businesses that is on no way complete but are all quality places
and sites to help riders get started!

I have a junior that wants to ride with others?


1. Get them into a social group ride within your area.
2. Get them into racing - different disciplines need different bikes and equipment and you
will need insurance through AusCycling.
3. Get coaching through Rock and Roll Mountain Biking – we offer junior programs for ages
7+
