Description
The tour begins in the village of Blackheath, located 12 minutes from Katoomba and approximately two hours by train from Sydney. Upon arrival, you will be fitted with a mountain e-bike, helmet, and gloves. A detailed rider safety and skills briefing, along with a route map explanation, ensures confidence for this straightforward out-and-back ride.
The ride follows the Burramoko Ridge dirt fire trail through heathlands and open forests to Baltzers Lookout near Hanging Rock. This route offers expansive valley views and crisp mountain air as you approach a raw, unfenced rocky bluff overlooking the Grose Wilderness gorge. On clear days, the Sydney CBD is visible on the horizon. Here, you can pause for snacks and take in the surroundings.
The Hanging Rock Trail is suitable for most riders who can comfortably ride a bike.

Both routes start and end at the same location; you can choose your preferred trail before departure.
