- Gradually climb up a 4WD track for 400m then turn right on Flying Nun single track, which is sign posted.
- Enjoy great views over Lyttelton Harbour and across the Canterbury Plains. Best described as the 'roller coaster', this is a down hill run with loads of twists and turns to make it a fast exhilarating ride.
- The track has alternate routes for the more daring with high bermed corners and 1-2 foot jumps scattered along the track and easier lines beside these jumps.
- A couple of boulder/bedrock sections with wooden platforms require a slower speed to navigate.
- It's an easy ride up Summit Road to the beginning of the track for a double shot of action.
- Do not ride this track uphill – it has been designed and built as a down hill ride.
