Activity level

There are over 125km of MTB trails in Blue Derby, and they’re all free to ride! Which is pretty rare for a place where people travel all over the world to visit. 

There are trails for all levels as well. But if you're a beginner, definitely stick to the easier tracks.

We went to an intermediate trail. Chris loved it but I was bloody terrified and ended up walking most of the way down LOL. I think I would’ve enjoyed it a lot more if I stuck to a beginner trail.

But anyway, if you want to plan properly, the official Blue Derby website has detailed trail breakdowns including difficulty, length, and estimated ride times! Check it here
