This is a fast but relativity easy piece of single track through the bush. It starts off the Goat Rock (Four Climbs) forestry road.

Riders should keep and eye out for the tree across track not far past the Bees to Bridge intersection. You can get under it while still on the bike and at speed, so long as you use the deep rut on the left side of the track. Keep in mind this off camber section is all clay based, so is slippery as hell in wet conditions.

There are two groups off working Bee Hives on this trail, hence the name 2 Bee Line. First is just prior to the Bees 2 Bridge intersection, and the second about 3/4 of the way down. Usual story, don't piss off the Bees and they won't piss you off.

 Unseasonably dry. Top half is pleasantly techy with the ruts dried out.

 About the worst I've seen it. Top half is like Taniwha in mid-winter. I switched to using Goat Rock to get to the trails as it was much drier

      Will be losing this track and all others on the upper side of Station Drive to forestry operations mid to late 2026.
