Singletrack that drops down to Shady Hub, easier option than Treehugger. Now starts at water tank dropping down to the old Heartthrob trail, a quick blast down there (old fire-break)to where the singletrack begins again.

A flyover takes you over Gladerunner, before joining the last section of Remedy down to Shady Hub.

Access Info

Either ride up Piki ki te ra to water tank or up past Tank, or come in via Skullduggery. Start point is now just past the water tank.
