❄️ Winter Trail Conditions — Bike Geraldine
With wetter weather throughout winter and less sunlight to dry out our tracks, please remember: if the tracks are damp, they’re closed.
Riding in wet conditions causes ruts, damages the trail surface, and sets the park back significantly. We’ve put enormous effort (and community support) into building something special here - and keeping it rideable long-term means protecting it when conditions aren’t right.
Before you head out, check conditions. If in doubt, stay off the tracks.
Thanks for being part of a community that looks after the assets that we have built. 🚲🤙

Community board members had a great visit to the new Geraldine mountain bike park recently that is nearing completion. Yet again, inspiration Geraldine volunteers are going above and beyond to create and provide first class biking and walking facilities for locals and visitors.
Thank you Larissa for showing us around and to all the hard working volunteers and contractors. Good luck for the finish line 👍
