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.

Wide open steep DH sections and uphill climbs. Track is mainly wide open.

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

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