This trail is a short, easy loop along the top of the south side of the ‘Pump Hill’ trails. Ridden clockwise, the trail features a gentle, gradual climb followed by an equally gradual descent with a few small humps and corners, making it perfect for those not wanting much speed. It also makes a good warm-up or time-passer for those riding with others of varying speed and ability. 

Locals Tip: A few pedal strokes on the descending side makes for more fun.

When we road this trail it was very badly covered with branches and bark from the bluegums wont be much fun for the younger ones till it is cleaned up.
