The Ride

This is one of the local classics! The Block is a loop ride that takes you over into Kangaroo valley via Woodhill and back via Berry mountain. It has some good challenging ups and technical (read bloody challenging) descents. Break out the compacts and dust off those breaks.

If you’re up for a challenge, the ride is a little harder in reverse.

Directions

The ride takes you from Berry up over Woodhill into Wattamolla and back home over Berry Mountain.
