Topsy turvy is a stunning 10km trail, with natural rock gardens and lovely, flowing single-track. The surface is mostly smooth, with a few intermediate-rated rock gardens. Topsy turvy can be ridden both directions, but is best ridden anti-clockwise, where the trail is mostly downhill. The elevation is gradual and is not too physically demanding.
There are 2 river crossings on the trail. When riding anti-clockwise, there is a very technical uphill rock garden (about 20m long) soon after the first river crossing, where you will want to get into an easy gear Topsy turvy is a fantastic trail for intermediate and above riders, but is definitely suitable for confident beginners, wanting to step up to the next level as well.
