"Have patience folks, because we’ll admit the gentle warm up climb does get a bit boring as you see it stretch on forever.
Get to the top corner though and you’ll forget it all instantly thanks to a twisting, turning roller coaster ride that’s like taking your bike to Alton Towers.
The optional Black Route adds even more big drop, big jump thrills for those who love to really push the limits."

Red Trail Grade (Difficult)
If you are a proficient mountain biker with a high skill level then you must try this fantastic route. This trail shares the same gradual ascent through the forest with the ‘Beginner’ (blue) route. When it splits off at the top of the forest, the longer red route sends you on a series of more technical challenges, with unsurfaced singletrack (0.6m-1.2m) and steep flowing sections of trail cutting through the more remote areas of the forest (see the personal safety information above). This trail utilises huge unavoidable bermed switchbacks, whoops, water crossings, tabletops and boardwalk. As well as being a longer route there are also more uphill and downhill sections.
 
A high level of fitness, stamina and experience is needed for this route.
