Buckwheater Bends is approximately 3km of flowy downhill track with a few uphill squirts to keep the legs pumping. Starting near The Junction, it winds its way down the ridgeline to the Beehive Hub. With around 27 corners you can’t help but hone your cornering skills.There’s a chance to shake it up a bit with two places that allow you to hop across onto Way Down West, also finishing at the Beehive Hub (not yet completed).For a shorter blast, you can pull the pin and exit onto Faramir Rd about 1 km down.

Up, Up and Away starts from the Beehive Hub and climbs gently through the pines. Eleven zig-zags will bring you to the ridge line which currently forms the western boundary of the bike area.Up, Up and Away follows the fire break south along the ridge as it climbs toward The Junction. There are two steeper sections, when you reach these look for diversion tracks which have been cut to the side. These diversion tracks have a gentler grade and will link back in with the fire break above the steep sections.Alternatively, if you are feeling strong, power straight up the fire break and impress your riding buddies.1.5km from the Beehive hub, on the left, you will see the sign for Way Down West and Buckwheater Bends. Up, Up and Away continues along the fire break to The Junction.

Way Down West is partially open from the top. You have the choice of exiting off Way Down West to connect with Buckwheater Bends or continue down Way Down West and take the Up, Up and Away exit which allows you to go up again to do another loop (see map at Beehive Hub). This is a great step up from Buckwheater Bends.
