98 DH shortcut

Location: Karori Park, Wellington, New Zealand

Overview:
Shortcut between sections of the 98 Downhill.

Grade: Intermediate

Access: Bike and Foot

Description:
At the base of the 98 Downhill steps (which have a bypass on the left), instead of turning sharply left this track continues straight down the hill. The track surface is steep, consisting of hard-packed dirt with a covering of pine needles, so there is little traction – especially when wet.

The track ends at a T-intersection with 98 Downhill. Just before that point, Karori Ladder Drop appears out of no-where, dropping on to this track down the last sweeping banked corner on the right.

Getting there:
Starts at the bottom of the steps on 98 Downhill and rejoins 98 Downhill just before it drops down to meet Wahine.

Length: 0.11km

Conditions: Single track
