A definite adventure ride for the very keen MTBiker who doesnt mind some hiker bike, a big day out with all sorts of trails and finish up with a beer and feed at the trout hotel at the end of the road

Several tracks, you choose different capabilities. Great for mountain biking. Excellent views. See where the old Goldminers worked.
