RIDE PROFILE

Bay of Fires 13km Descent trail

Ride grade: Blue (intermediate), The 13km is an action packed descent trail for the thrill seekers with tight technical fast lines and flowy berm filled sections. It begins with a 2km traverse with magnificent views to the coast and to St Helens. The next 6km sees 400m of altitude loss down a fast flow trail ducking majestic myrtle trees and rolling around huge tree ferns. A short climb through Giant Ash trees leads you into the final speedy descent, a perfect flow trail if ever there was one built.
