Description

For starters, if you're a TRUE beginner, like have never ridden a mountain bike before, this will be pretty challenging for you and we wouldn't recommend it. Our Woodhill beginner's challenge is probably more up your alley. However, if you're a beginner verging on intermediate, this will be a good challenge for you. We recommend buddying up for this one, it's easy to get lost at Riverhead ;)

The route we've chosen is 15kms with approximately 485m of elevation and should take you roughly an hour and a half - give or take depending on skill level, obviously. The maps are attached as images above - scroll to the right to study up!

For those speedsters keen on a challenge and hankering for a crown, here are the current Strava segment records:
- Barlow Rd - Steep Section: Adrian Retief w/ 2:14
