Description

The tracks in the forest above Hanmer Springs are built with the time, effort and money by the Hanmer Springs Mountain Bike Club. A map of the complete track network can be purchased from the isite for a small fee and all proceeds go back into the tracks.

This loop goes up Lower Dog Stream, down Detox, down Mach 1, along Camp Track, along Western Link, up Swoop, down Tank, down Yankee Zephyr, down Flax Gully. It misses out the awesome BigFoot and a few other trails, but is a good loop if you only have a couple of hours.

My favourite tracks are probably Mach 1, Tank, Yankee Zephyr and Bigfoot, but all the tracks are worth riding multiple times.
