Red Rocks Mountain Bike Trail

This is an old school track that started life as a steep 4wd road and is slowly degenerating into challenging single track. Starting from a good altitude, the track more-or-less follows a ridge down to the sea. Along the way there are huge views over Cook Strait, though parts of the track are technically challenging so don't get too distracted by the views.The final purpose-built single track section (branch from old red rocks exit) is very narrow with loose surface, tight switchbacks and some exposure. You need to be confident at G4 even though the majority of the track leading up to this section is G3. Only other options to exit are even harder G5 trails.
