Description
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.
