Hi Mate
I'm assuming you are talking about some XC riding and not DH. If so, some great trails are:
- Wylde MTB Tail (Google is your friend) - The first 6km are really annoying up-hill but after that it gets super fun, especially the last 3-4km. I would probably recommend going here if your on your own and can't organise a group ride as there are good facilities and lots of people coming and going during the week and also weekends. The trail is also well maintained and long enough to be worth the drive. If your keen after 1 you can knock over multiple laps as well.
- Yellowmundee (Google location) - I haven't been here for a few years, but if you cannot organise a group ride and are unsure about locations and trails, it is not as easy to find as the Wylde MTB trail but still super fun. Probably a bit more remote than Wylde but gets a few people on the weekend, not maintained as often, but good enough to ride. The top (first section) is quite technical and rocky, but the rest of the trail becomes quite flow.
- The Oaks Fire Trail (Glenbrook) - I have never done this, but it's popular from what I hear.
