This is one of the best known Mtb routes in the country. Made famous by the Wines2Whales stage race, which takes place at the end of October each year. Variety of surfaces from rocky to sandy. A great route to sharpen your skills with some reasonably technical rocky sections between A and C. From E it gets a lot more flowy. F and G are really special. The route changes at what was previously known as H and follows a beautiful new section rejoining the original trail at P (H is now the access trail to the Rock Garden). This trail rides extremely well after light rains. The sandy sections harden and are really flowy. Beautiful and scenic
