An adventure trail that’s mostly descending will take you on a journey through incredible forest scenery. It's packed full of features and is the perfect trail to chase your mates down. After all that descending the last 2km of trail follows the historic Briseis Water Race which was completed in 1902 and shows true Aussie engineering standing the test of time.

      Great track. Super fun features and lots speed and rocks and hits. There's a few sketchy bits blind so slow down and have a look and then send it. The pedal round the back isn't super fun but worth ticking off Derby list for sure!

      The two main descents on this trail could be the best blues in Derby. Lots of speed, tons of fun trail gaps, and great corners. The long flat at the end does take the wind out of your sails a bit but this trail is well worth it.

      I am looking forward to riding this new track over the next two weeks. Looks like a decent amount of drop over the 8km. I will be interested to see how well the "Briseis Water Race" came up.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
