Trail Roller Coaster

The second half, after Split Enz has enjoyed a lot of maintenance recently to manage all the rain we've had. It's in great condition. Thank you team, really appreciated.

Trail Frontal Lobotomy

Rode this today while on our way to Shark v Eagle.
Posted as Grade 2 but I would not recommended to anybody who cannot manage grade 3. It is a knarly climb and challenging in places and probably should be a G3 when you looking at Grade 3 description. The track was otherwise in good order

Trail As You Do

Very technical climb, I would not class that as a Grade 3. It is more like a Grade 4 climb

Trail Pondy New

the tricky rooty section has a bypass now if you don't want to tackle it, and the rocky section is much easier.

Trail Rocky Horror

Think this is closed for logging. Was there last week and the sign said that the trees were coming down starting January 16. Bummer.

AS you do is a 2 way trail, great for heading out of the forest on.
