Mountain Bike Trails in Totara Park

Anaconda New

The revised Anaconda after the 4 Gullies Project. The latter section is unchanged and the new shorter entrance has been added.

Beginners loop

Short flat loop with no technical features, suitable for beginners. Can get a bit overgrown so make sure you don't miss some of the tight corners.

Challenger

Intermediate bypass from the Pony Express trail with a narrow (but low) bridge to cross.

Challenger Shortcut

Shortcut to the Challenger trail missing out the rooty technical end of Pony Express.

D.I.C.

One of the best trails in the park, built by local club members and modified by Trail-Pro. Nice little bush ride now that the surrounding trees have become well established. Flowy trail with minimal berming. Fairly tight turns on the climb, opening out a little on the descent.

Dick

Featuring flowing downhill and then a climb back up to the old Anaconda near the Pony Club shed. This track will open in June 2019.

Dipper

The dipper takes you from the cattle grate at the bottom of Pony Express and links you to Gutsa from the western side.

Fatmans Revenge

Gusta

Gutsa

The most technical trail at Totara with a log over, two skinnies a couple of short bridges and a small jump.

Hardly Working

Grade 3 flow trail built by Trail Pro. Splits off from Working Hard and joins back on again as a good extension.

Harry

More flowing downhill with some fast berms before climbing back up to exit the 4 Gullies planted area onto the last part of Old Anaconda.

Harry to Gutsa Link

A short link from the bottom of Harry onto the end of Gutsa, from there you can return to the North end car park via Gutsa or take the scenic route via the Log Cross and back through Scrubber.

Log Cross Link

This is the New Link track from the U-Turn on Gutsa through to Scrubber. It will Open Early July 2019. TPMBC.

Mawhitiwhiti

Mawhitiwhiti (n grasshopper, v to jump over) is short and fast with 10 tabletops and lots of other features.

Oma Rāpeti

This trail is a fairly straight climb from the bottom of Pony Express back up to challenger. It has an off camber section at the bottom that can be a little slippery from time to time. Be careful merging onto challenger if riding up and if riding down be prepared to stop at the bottom.

Pony Club Grind

Pony Express

Starts with a solid climb up from the hub before tracking across the face of the hill paddock. Curves down through a short rooty section then back across the hill lower down. Passes through a bushy gully with a short bridge before leading to another rooty section between the trees.

Puhunui Flow

Totara Park contains the headwaters of the Puhunui Stream, so this track is appropriately named. Lots of berms and flow.

Rewa Hard

Rewa Hard is the newest climb in Totara Park and features 14 switchbacks as it climbs up from Scrubber and across a steep hillside. The turns are tight but the gradient is gentle, but the rider will be rewarded with two choices of getting back down to Scrubber, Puhunui Flow a winding XC track with lots of berms, or peel off to Mawhitiwhiti, a faster jumps track with lots of tabletops.
