Good to know

Carry water even on short rides; Perth's heat builds quickly. Spring wildflower season (Aug–Oct) adds colour to surrounding bushland. Check conditions after rain, as dirt surfaces can be slippery. Suitable for riders aged 5+. Best ridden in cooler months (May–Sept) to avoid midday heat.
