Overview
Two-way mostly sidling track that connects Nevay Road with the Jail Brake DH run.
Grade
Intermediate
Access
Bike and Foot (Work in progress)
Description
From Nevay Road head down a short and fairly steep section to the top of Conviction. Be aware of the creek at the intersection with Conviction, as the crossing is not bridged.
After crossing the creek, head up towards the right across a bridge – this section of track bypasses the old, and very steep, farm track that continues straight up the hill from the creek. You'll cross this old farm track again further up the hill.
After about 0.1km the track turns west and sidles across the hill just within the boundary of the reserve. After a while the track emerges on to a grassy opening with a view of Evan's Bay. Loop around to the left and you will see the entrance to the rest of the track.
This is a 2 way track so expect to see people coming the other way.
Getting there
The eastern end is on Nevay Road, just up hill of the last bus shelter before the prison.
The western end is to the right of the prison sign on Main Road, just outside where the road to the water tanks is obstructed by several concrete blocks. Head towards the water tanks to find the top of Jail Brake.
Other notes
This track is a work in progress, but is rideable.
