About
Time: 25 min loop
Track category: Easy: Grade 2
The trail starts from Hotoritori Campsite and is the main trail from which all other trails branch from. It follows a metal forestry road, then branches left to continue up a gentle hill section. This steepens for about 150 metres before coming to an old skid site plateau. From here the trail undulates in a large arc back to itself and finishes with a small creek crossing which is ride-able.
This track splits into a hard and easy option about ¾ of the way along, which gives more skilled riders a small downhill technical section before re-joining the main track.
Time: 20 min
Track category: Intermediate: Grade 3
This is the first trail to branch off Kim’s Track, at the second old logging skid site, shortly after the small bridge crossing.
The trail starts with a steep but ride-able 200 metre metalled hill section, then veers sharply left to follow an undulating but mostly downhill trail on a Manuka covered ridge to re-join Kim’s Track at the third old skid site. From this skid site riders can continue on Kim’s Track to the right or go straight in to Split Ens.
Time: 20 min
Track category: Intermediate: Grade 3
This trail winds its way down the hill to a point where it splits. Here riders have the option of going left back to the small bridge on Kim’s Track, or going right to the exit trail which is the last part of Kim’s Track.
Time: 15 min
Track category: Intermediate: Grade 3
Graeme’s Grind is on the left, off Kim’s Track, just before the exit trail. It's a slightly technical climb back up the hill. From here:
Hotoritori Campsite is the first camp on the left, 3 km past the Kauaeranga Visitors Centre.
