Description

The all time classic of Cable Bay. Roll the dice and drop in into this beautiful rocky, rooty, technical singletrack which takes you from Blue Hill summit down to the Skywire. A long, full enduro run where it's always a bit of a gamble if you can make it all the way without putting a foot down. A pretty typical Nelson trail. Techy, narrow and heaps of spice. Absolute trailriding goodness. There is a small, non rollable tree log drop after about 100m from the top. Further down you will have a few different options to finish or continue your ride.
