- The track begins with a short rocky section and then levels out through a fast flowing undulating section as it traverses beneath Mt Vernon.
- There are some technical rocky sections combined with smooth flowing surface and bermed corners – giving this track a lot of variety within a short distance.
- There is a bail out section onto the Summit road halfway into the ride.
- The second half of the track has a few rocks to pick through then flows and descends on smooth well formed track to the finish.
- A great view from the start of the track into Lyttleton Harbor.
