About Burts Trail Ride
A story of legendary rides and the epic people behind itBuilt on a love for the sport
Our journey began more than two decades ago with a simple charity ride for the local school and the rest is history! That single event evolved into a celebrated annual tradition and we were constantly being asked ‘Why don’t you have more trail rides?!’ From there it’s grown into what it is today.
Over the years we have hosted many events – including those at a national level – included the GNCC (Grand National Cross Country) and the Honda 6-hour Endurance Race.
The legacy of our trail rides is rooted in years of competitive riding and hands-on expertise – 2 of our 4 children have ridden competitively so we know what riders like, and how a good track should work and run.
Our Trail has been developed over the years on our privately owned farm and forest covering 1500 acres. Every twist, turn, and jump in our tracks reflects our dedication to creating a thrilling yet secure environment for riders of every age and ability.
Designed for every rider
Our extensive main track, which covers up to 28km is complimented by specially crafted family and mini tracks. These routes are engineered to accommodate a wide range of abilities – ensuring that whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned rider, your trail riding experience is both challenging and safe. Our Family Track is suitable for parents and children learning, with our Mini Track designed for out littlest riders to enjoy for bikes under 85cc.

At Burt's Trail Ride where the dirt flies high,
We rip through the bush 'neath the southern sky.
Throttle wide open, no time to hide,
Just you and the track on a wild dirt ride.
Jump after jump, we send it with pride,
Roostin' the trail with our crew by our side.
Twistin' that throttle, full grip, no fear,
The sounds of that 450 music to the ear.
Mud on our boots and a grin ear to ear,
Burt's is the place we hold close and dear.
From sunrise to sundown, we're chasing that thrill,
Every berm, every jump - pure moto skill.
