Mount Macpherson's premier flow trail makes a smooth climber, as well as a fast flowing descent trail. Remember: uphill riders have the right-of-way. This should be on your must-do list at Mount Macpherson.

Follow the signs for the blue 'ride-arounds' to avoid riding the black diamond technical trail features (TTFs).
