Mountain Bike Trails in Mt Vic

"A"

Follow on track from "V". Narrow dirt track in trees. Has two sections, first ends with an off camber roll down onto a walking track, second starts straight across that track with a little chute and ends in the same place as lower TTS. Both sections, especially the lower one are trickier when wet, or when very dry and dusty. Most of this track is intermediate level (Grade 3) but the end of the first section and start of the second one are advanced. (Grade 4)

"V"

Narrow track, steep in places and lots of tree roots to keep you honest. Finishes with a steep tree root covered chute and a medium sized drop onto a walking track. Keep an eye out for walkers. Upper level intermediate when dry, more difficult when wet due to slippery tree roots.

Bomb Hole

Bomb Hole trail section of Super D route. There is a short pinch at the exit up Old Mac Track to get to Park Bench & Saddle Jumps start.

Bummer's Wood

Alternative access to or from Alexandra Park, good for returning to the summit of the super D. It follows the contours rather than heading up the Ridge.

Damien's

Steep, awkward and straight down. 3 sections, starting from the second corner of Hippies. Much harder in the wet.

Groms

Moderately technical track dropping down towards Charles Plimmer Park. Everything on it can be rolled but also fun at speed with some air possible in sections.

Hataitai Park

Multi-use trail traversing Hataitai Park.

Hataitai Zigzag

This track provides a nice alternative to the steep Hataitai to City track. Instead of heading straight up the hill, this track wanders up through the bush at a gentle gradient. About 0.1km up from the bottom the track crosses the Hinau Street spur of the Hataitai to City track. Just after a switchback the track divides into two paths the original track continues south to soon rejoin the Hataitai to City track, while a newer section turns north to continue gently climbing up to Alexandra Road. This is an excellent off road climb up to the summit when linked with Shuttle Cook and heading around the velodrome.

Hippy's

Hippie's is the start of the Mt Vic Super D route.

Newtown Reservoir

Access up to Mt Vic from behind the Hospital. Moderately steep in a couple parts with a few ruts, but overall a good surface and moderate grade. Meets up with Hospital to Mt Vic, for which it is an easier alternative.

Park Bench

Drops down from the seat in the trees just above the saddle.

Park Bench Old School

One of the original option lines to end Park Bench. Has been reinstated in 2024. Slower than the main line with some off camber routes just before it rejoins the last berm.

Pirie Street Singletrack Access

Quarry Track

Rock Drop

Most direct route down Mt Vic to Charles Plimmer Park/Majoribanks St. Joins onto Groms just after the rock (which you can bypass) then crosses a major walkway about halfway down. Steep in places and a couple of drops but all manageable on an XC bike.
