This is my first time of mountain biking and it is really exciting! Coach Ian is very nice and experienced and considerate. He knew I was not confident enough for tough mountain road, (actually I was scared to dead) he then chose a comfortable route for me and my partner. Fortunately, we got a good weather, the all the way... More

We did the Lofty Descents trip, then the McLaren Vale wine trip a couple of days later. Both are great fun; the first one is more focused on the biking and the wildlife. The second is great if you want to have a bit of a ride to justify the wine tasting and excellent lunch. Ian, who runs it, knows... More

I did the Lofty Descent ride last week and it was fantastic! I was visiting Adelaide for business and just had a day to do some sightseeing and was so glad to have joined this tour! I do not have any mountain biking experience so I was a little nervous about the trip- but Ian did a great job of... More

Really enjoyable way to spend a half day in Adelaide. Chance to see lots of wild koalas, very accessible bike trails, friendly guide Ian.

If you're looking for something a bit different while holidaying in Adelaide, as we were, and if you can ride a bike, downhill mountain biking from Mt Lofty to Adelaide is well worth some thought. We spent a great half-day with Ian on mountain bike tracks, some of them only recently opened to the public. Well organised, great views, a... More

A fantastic day on Mt Lofty with Ian. We were picked up in the morning by Ian and his dad, joined a couple of others on the ride. My son (12 yrs) loved it as did my husband. We always try to book adventure type activities for our family and this certainly fitted the bill. Stopped at clevland park and... More

We did the Lofty Descents tour in February. Ian(and his Dad) made it a great experience. Our group consisted of experienced mountainbikers and people who had never ridden a mountain bike before, but Ian provided training/riding tips to ensure that everyone had a good time. Even the novices gained confidence, with guidance from Ian, and arrived back in the city... More

Our group consisted of a mountainbike enthusiast and a beginner. Ian did a great job of ensuring both of us had a great day out. He took as to Fox Creek to ride some fun single track that was not too daunting for the beginner and fun for the enthusiast. He also provided good tips to the beginner to improve... More

As we were travelling with our 10 and 12 year-old boys, we wanted to find fun things to do for the whole family while experiencing Adelaide. We contacted Escapegoat and they advised the Lofty Descents tour - a half-day of riding bikes down through the conservation area, petting kangaroos and koalas - perfect! It is all downhill (whew!) with some... More
