A boundary ride that gives you a fabulous introduction to the Wooroi Day Use Area for mountain bikers.

SUITABILITY
A trail suitable for intermediate mountain bikers. It’s up hill all the way to begin with but then it gets easier after that.

HIGHLIGHTS
Welcome to Wooroi mountain bike trails! Affectionately known as ‘Sunrise Milk Maid’, this anti-clockwise loop is a great introduction to the Wooroi forest network.

It circles right around most of the mountain bike trails and vegetation zones so you get a feel for the terrain. There are three main parking entries, top and bottom of Gyndier drive, and the day use dirt carpark a bit further east along Cooroy Noosa road.

Either way ride up the smooth easy bitumen of Gyndier Drive, to the bollards near the top – there are no cars but occasional speeding road bikes, skateboarders and walkers often with pooches..The top track trailhead is just there heading uphill. It’s an exciting ride along the ridgeline with glimpses of Noosa, then to a firer road, which soon meets Milk Maid trail. From there it’s a real hoot down to the creek over by Beckmans Rd, and a relaxing roll back to the start.

Use this to warm up and get the lay of the land.

AFTERWARDS
Which Trail do you want to ride next? There’s more exciting rides to be had here. Check out the information board in the carpark a Wooroi Day Use Area for other rid options.

You will also discover is a large and pleasant picnic area surrounded by bloodwood trees and coastal she-oaks with tables and taps but no toilets. Still, it’s a good place to hang out and talk to other riders.

Nearest toilets are at the Tinbeerwah Rural Fire Station at the top of the range. (Corner of Sunrise Road and Gyndier Drive.)
