Land OwnerNew Plymouth District Council
A descending trail that does have some flat and climbing sections off the Million $ hill. There are sharp downhill hairpins which make the trail more difficult for the average rider. Harder than Cashflow, easier than Twisted Sister
Access Info
Either off the easy starting section of Twisted Sister or more often now from the trail hub at the top of Lap it Up
