A Wench

B'warethetroll

Flowing downhill track, with some technical areas, two narrow bridges at the end.

Bermers Beware

Bikepark style DH trail.

Bluff

Top section is quite steep and fast with rollable jumps. Middle section is a lot less steep, it's still fast but with no features or corners. Bottom section is fairly tight and twisty with lots of bridges through the swamp/river area. NB the bottom section suffers badly when it's wet.

Bone Garden

Rebuilt in 2016 after logging, follows the original alignment to start with but now exits onto Mains Road instead of Youngs Road. A little steep and sketchy at the start, but gets easier and faster as it progresses down the hill.

Cave-Man

Narrow trail squeezed between the road and fence line. Good alternative to riding down a boring forestry road. Skinny bridge.

Couch Potato

Starts off with a climb from Sideshow Rob up to the top. From there it's an action packed trail with some of the best berms in the forest, fun gap jump and fast straights. NB the sign says grade 3.

DMF

Short connector to form a loop from the top of the Glue Man climb back to the carpark. Ride it at the start of your ride as a little warm-up, or if you've still got the legs after riding up Skull Creek carry on to the top and end your ride with a fun little descent to the carpark.

Dead Sailor

Advanced jump track - lots of compulsory gaps and drops. Have a look before riding it.

Douglas Drop

Short cross country/downhill trail. Skinny/bridge at the end at Firewood Rd.

Easy Wench

Everready

The entrance trail from Glenbervie Parking to Glenbervie HQ, recently rebuilt after logging. Trail now runs up the hill to the bulldozer track under the power lines, which you can follow from there to make your way down to the Headquarters, or take a left to head over to the alternative line Higgle'd Piggle'd through the bush.

F=ma

Predominantly downhill flowing singletrack, flat corners and fast straight sections but from the bridge at the bottom it's uphill to the end which links back into the very bottom of Douglas Drop.

Foot Fetish

Built winter of 2020. Starts with a short chute then into berms and root garden. Flattens out and traverses/climbs around hill. Drops back in with a couple small drops then finishes on Kahikatea Rd on the flat.

Forlong Street

Gentle climbing singletrack with tight switchbacks.

Frog Rd Track

Historically trail Smugglers Run was located here but it was destroyed during forestry operations in approx 2017, only remnants of the trail exist now in 2023, it remains popular with pedestrians.

Glue Man

Take the long way to Higgle'd Piggle'd Short punchy climb up onto the shared path under the powerlines that makes its way across the hill to the sweet downhill through the bush to HQ. Please note the section under the power lines is two-way and multi-use, go keep your eyes pealed for horses, runners etc.

Grumpy Dwarf

Starts with a short, rooty and windy climb, features some steep sections that require a run-up, mostly flowy but somewhat technical. Watch out for narrow bridges Meets up with the bottom of Tin Bum then exits onto Burma Rd near the end of Picnic.

Higgle'd Piggle'd

Starts on the left at the downhill section of Everready, it's flat out in the open then gets steeper, tight and twisty in the trees with lots of big roots, ends with a fast straightaway - there's a jump to the left and a roll to the right.ends at the start to Skull Creek/end of Everreadycan be entered from the end of Glue Man too.
