North Face to Starfish dig days

  • Makara Peak Mountain Bike Park (map)

We're building a new grade 4 (advanced) trail that will connect the end of North Face to Starfish where it meets the 4WD track – it's the badly drawn red line on the map.

The badly drawn red line shows roughly how the new track will connect North Face to Starfish.

With the blessing of Brooklyn Trail Builders we’re shamelessly ripping off their successful approach of a 2-hour dig on Sunday afternoon followed by beer and sausages on the BBQ.

So drop by between 3 and 5pm on Sundays, check it out and lend a hand.

The track starts just down the 4WD track at the end of North Face and Three Brothers. This track will take the best parts of Starfish and make something even better. The terrain is perfect with just enough steepness, a good Mahoe canopy, and heaps of rock lying around. Think drops, jumps, roots, berms, high speed, alternative lines, and plenty of jank. Once complete, you’ll be able to ride Grade 4 from the summit all the way to the main entrance. Choice!
