In November, @jackultracyclist conquered @mundabidditrailfoundation`s 1067km in 2 days, 12 hours and 15 minutes, shattering the fastest known time record. ⏱🔥

In Dwellingup, the Munda Biddi acts as the spine of the @dwellingupadventuretrails network, seamlessly connecting green, blue, and black mountain bike trails. Whether you conquer a section or dare to embrace the end-to-end challenge, the trail promises an unforgettable adventure. 🚵🌳🚵‍♀️

As Jack wisely suggests, "Would I recommend the Munda Biddi? Absolutely! Though if I got the opportunity to ride it again, I’d space it out over the course of 10 days, take a bunch of mates and stay in the trail towns en route." 👌🏽🏠🍻
