Who in your group rides what
Whether everyone in your group gets a day at Jubilee Park (Toowoomba) - the grades on offer, the named zones, and how mixed abilities split up.
Green through blue and black; steep escarpment DH lines. Quick Link averages ~21% grade (steepest).
Group split: beginners ride green multi-use loops near the base; advanced riders climb the range and descend DH lines (Mackenzie Frenzy, Quick Link), regrouping at the park base.
Green multi-use trails suit beginners while black escarpment DH suits advanced riders; escarpment climbs make some loops fitness-demanding.
