The famous Oaks firetrail up and back from Glenbrook Station.

Distance: 
53.01Km
Vertical Climb: 
1355m
Vertical Drop: 
-1346m

Starting off by Glenbrook station this ride takes a direct route up to the top of The Oaks firetrail. It's sealed road from the station down to the causeway, over Glenbrook Creek and up the other side but then the dirt soon kicks in.

Follow this firetrail the whole way, for some it's a real slog, for others this is fun!

Killer Climb

Even though it all seems uphill, there are a few descents which translate into nasty pinches on the way back so take it easy!

There's a tap at the top of the trail to top up supplies then just turn round and head back down to the gate bottom of the long downhill section.

Almost home, now's the time to really have some fun, because this route takes the single track that runs just off to the left of the main firetrail. This drops the rider off just above the road down to the causeway and back to the start.
