A traverse in the middle of a climb, Emu Run does have one technical spot that can spook beginners. Half-way along it has a sharp hairpin corner which is set amongst some big rocks that create a ledge up and then down on either side of the corner. All along this track look for the optional rocks to ride over to make it more interesting.
