This is a motocross track that is also suitable for mountain bikes if you are an experienced rider. There are a lot of obstacles to jump or bunny hop and some are quite large and poorly made and poorly maintained. Bus as long as you ride to your skill level and fitness, you will enjoy the ride. The first couple of kilometres is uphill climbing and then after a quick descent, it is pretty flat or rolling undulations. The bush is really nice, particularly in Spring.

Access Info

The track starts on Sawpit Flat Road a few hundred metres short of Cherry Tree Track.

This trail is unsanctioned.
