About the trail

The Bath Tub track (also known as 'Cash Flow’) is the main downhill trail for mountain bikers in Whareroa Farm. Riders meander through several hairpin turns while heading into the Red Tape downhill track.

The trail drops down from Campbell's Mill Road into the Whareroa Farm mountain bike zone, traversing both sides of the middle ridge before linking up with the Red Tape Track before Bridge 3.

This 1.57km ride is packed with features with 14 switchbacks, 29 jumpable elements, and some berms and rollers.
