This is one of the up trails in the Lake Leschenaultia MTB network - with the other being the far easier Eastern Line. The trail starts a fair way down the fire trail riding away from the rest of the network, approximately 500 metres - and is probably the hardest trail to find.
Get ready for a solid workout as you climb 63m over 1.5km on this blue trail. It’s a great challenge to pair with Blue Panther for a classic, tight singletrack double! While it’s the most physically demanding trail here, just drop into a low gear and spin your way to the top.
