Copley Ridge Night Trail

Course Map

Elevation

Route Description

• 0.0km – 1.5km – 3,2
  The first kilometre is on some well used single track and then quad trail. At the 1.5 km mark we hit the logging road and really go up.
• 1.5km – 2.5km – 2,4
  Oh ya it’s up!
• 2.5km – 5.0km – 3,3
  And now we hit the single track and half —yes it’s a bit wider than a true single track— and we head down it’s nice and flowy, not too technical on the whole. It’s just so much fun coming down, worth the pain going up.
• 5.0km – to the end – 3,2
  You get about 300m under the power lines then it’s all single track to the finish.

• 6km & 7km – 3,3
  And now we go down! On ‘Binks’ and back on to the ‘WWL Mtn bike trail’. Sweet downhill single track!
