Ah Rocky! A tighter more technical climb than other trails on this circuit. Loved by some, hated by others.

There are a couple of sections that define Rocky Balboa. Rocks on corners and through tight trees. Have you got your balance and bike control sorted? What about your fitness? Go a couple of rounds with Rocky and find out! After this Mother-In-Law doesn't appear so intimidating. 

Practice your precision in this technical climb with hairpin corners. Keep your eyes busy and look out for exposed rock (it’s a nice distraction from the burning legs).

Trails are free and bring so many benefits to our community by providing opportunities to have fun, get fit, socialise, explore and challenge yourself. But they also have to be managed and maintained which only is made possible through terrific sponsors, donations and/or volunteering.
