Design and construction of three cross country trails, and other works, in the popular Murray Valley Mountain Bike Trail network.
In 2019, Three Chillies Design joined a handful of other local trail building companies in the construction of the new Murray Valley Mountain Bike Trails in Lane Poole Reserve, as part of a larger initiative to develop Dwellingup into a world class trails destination.
Three Chillies Design was engaged to build a blue cross country loop and two green cross country trails. Blue Marron, a 3km cross country loop, is a blue trail with optional black features and alternate lines for those looking for a challenge. A climb rewards the rider with a fast and technical descent through ancient granite boulders with sweeping views over the valley. Rock On is a 2.1km cross country loop that lives up to its name with a rocky climb and rolling, flowy descent. Snotty Gobble, named for the furry, Dr. Seussesque tree endemic to the area, is a fun green trail that all riders can enjoy. When combined with the Munda Biddi, it creates a cross country loop perfect for an introduction to the sport. Three Chillies were also engaged to realign a 5km section of the iconic Munda Biddi Trail.
In 2022, Three Chillies Design returned to Murray Valley to provide Blue Marron with a facelift, as well as performing major maintenance on several other trails within the network.
