MRGA
Extended and ridable in Aug 2022, now crosses Richies and with a few jumps to finish at the bottom of Bull (crossroads area). Still a bit fresh, will get smoothed and drainage for Summer 2023. Some unavoidable slight uphills, lung burner if you are going hard, good funduro training.
CROSSES KAURI TO RITCHIES THREE QUARTERS THE WAY DOWN - BE CAREFUL.
