Description

Sweet singletrack with good climbs and switchbacks dispersed with berms and speedy downhills. Track climbs through rough-cut area but soon gets into nice native sections with pleasant views. Short spicy sections through the eucalypts add some fun. Option to peel off between the reservoirs and take the easy track back, or continue into the forest. There is a toilet a short way up the east side of the first reservoir.
