Notes:
A short climb from the end of The Trig to the top of the hill and over the other side.
The short
descent is the steepest and most technical descent on any of the standard
loops. The gradient is very steep, there
are lots of rocks and off camber corners turning from the fall line 90° across the hill. Then just as you are getting
into the groove the trail heads back up the hill for a short punchy climb
toward its exit.
Definitely
worth the climb to the summit to look out over the edge of the forest toward
the NSW farmland. The descent would be a
good place to interval train for Enduro.
