 Great track. Amazing view with some steep climb and couple or sharp speedy turns. Lot of walkers in 1st half so be mindful.

      Fine way to return to Wanaka after some Glendhu laps. Climbs will keep you paying attention but nothing all that sustained.

      Scenic views. Brutal Climbs. Some technical areas. I guess one could just walk their bike on the climbs, but too many of them.
      Bruceperry
      Superb track, rough enough to keep most people away. Some punchy climbs but riding fast.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
