Generally gentle rolling profile through regenerating native bush. A few small pinch climbs but nothing too difficult.
Two-way trail so take it easy.
Part of the Whakarewarewa Forest Loop.

      Rode the whole loop. Cleared a few low-hanging small trees on this section and any trail debris on the ride line for whole loop that I thought...
