%The Narrow Neck Peninsula ride, starting from Katoomba, offers breathtaking views and thrilling terrain in the Blue Mountains. Initially, the ride feels ordinary as you descend from Katoomba Station, but the scenery transforms upon reaching Glenraphael Drive. The narrow plateau stretches out with vistas of Mt. Solitary and the expansive Megalong Valley. The ride includes steep climbs and descents along a well-maintained fire trail. At the peninsula’s narrowest point, sheer cliffs reveal Lake Burragorang below. The trail ends 10 km in, where adventurous cyclists can hike down Taros Ladder to the Kanangra Wilderness before returning to Katoomba. This ride promises stunning views and exhilarating challenges.
