Probably one of the most popular routes at Mangamahoe for Beginner/Intermediate riders. All trails are doable for any rider with some bike confidence and a bit of fitness. Highlights of this route and trails you may just want to lap are - Mandatory Powerplay, Anti Climax (Cut out half way or full thing), Let it Roll (cut out half way), Cash Flow, and Snakes and Ladders if you fancy a bit more XC. There are also a bunch of new cool wooden features being added to the main ridgeline near the beginning of Mandatory Powerplay. To make the loop a bit longer at the northern end of the park you can ad on Buddafinger (slightly harder) or Cash Flow extention (a bit easier), then flow on to Ara Hoki and Kahore Tau - both up and down XC trails.
