Fully rebuilt in 2023 with generous funding by NZCT. Start with a big LH berm followed by a roller coaster woop ride down through the natives to another hard RH berm before reaching the flatter ground of the river flats. From here it is a wide easy track that finishes at a bridged stream crossing.

Access Info

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.
