Description

This is an awesome trail through Rangataua Forest with a great mix of singletrack and doubletrack. The route has little rise or fall, so it can be ridden in either direction. There are some slightly technical sections and an awesome river crossing, but nothing too serious.

North Track drains better than most trails in Rangataua Forest and is the most popular with locals.
