Cairns, Tropical North Queensland. Home to Round.2 of the 2016 UCI World-Cup MTB series, and one of the most unique and diverse tourist driven destinations anywhere on earth. Troy Brosnan spent a week in Cairns sampling the very best on offer from riding the trails in the famed Atherton Forest Mountain Bike Park, to feeding saltwater crocodiles, gliding over rainforest canopies and diving the Great Barrier Reef. Follow on with Troy, and stay tuned for part 2 – a personal and very fast journey down the Cairns UCI World-Cup DH course.
