Where the hell is Dungog? That was our reaction too when asked if we would accompany our good friends at Bespoke Cycle Tours<\/a> to go cycling and test out some bike trails promoted by Ride Dungog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dungog is a name based on a Gringai Aboriginal name meaning \u2018place of thinly wooded hills\u2019.<\/p>\n

Ride Dungog\u2019s vision is \u2018for the Dungog region to be a world-class biking destination built on community collaboration\u2019.\u00a0<\/span>They\u2019ve certainly done a great job with that, with over 20 well designed trails at last count.<\/p>\n

We chose to ride two of the many trails located around Dungog. The first, \u2018Fosterton Loop<\/a>\u2018, was an easy 22km loop ride from Dungog to Fosterton Bridge and return with around 210 metres of undulating climbing. At the halfway point there is a great spot on the Williams River for a refreshing dip on a hot day.<\/p>\n

The second, \u2018Thalaba Church Loop<\/a>\u2018, was another easy 17km scenic ride from Dungog. Riding through the surrounding beautiful countryside, we encountered two moderate hills and about 270 metres of climbing overall.<\/p>\n

There is plenty more to do in and around Dungog. Barrington Tops National Park is a short drive from Dungog as is the lovely town of Gloucester.<\/p>\n

Onwards and upwards!<\/em><\/p>\n
