Tips

September 19, 2026

The Spine winds gradually uphill through Isaacs Pines, following a narrower line beneath the trees instead of the wider management roads nearby. It’s designed as a shared trail for walking, running and cross-country riding, with a gentler gradient than the steeper routes higher on the ridge. As you climb, gaps in the pines start opening towards Woden Valley and the Brindabella Ranges.

Mountain biking

Suitable for gravel or mtb setups as long as you’re running decent rubber and low psi. Nice flowing singletrack without many ascents, drops or gaps. Track does have many exposed rocks and roots.

Mountain biking

Will need decent rubber and low psi but this fairly flat, flowing singletrack is good fun. No large gaps, drops or descents. Watch for jagged rocks and exposed tree roots.
