Smokin gets some long overdue love

Smokin has been getting some long overdue attention thanks to Ranger Mark Kent and the team from TGL Contracting Limited.

If you’re starting out mountain biking, Smokin is a great option for helping progress onto intermediate trails. It’s a gentle gradient with no scary drop offs on the side of the trail to distract you!

This work is particularly focussed on improving the switchbacks and the flow by rebuilding berms to allow riders to safely carry more speed as they improve their skills.

Thanks to Wellington City Council for funding this work as part of their commitment to Mākara Peak.

The track is still raw in places, so take care. Maybe even stay off it, if too wet, especially if the forecast is a bit dodgy.
