Rooty connection between Hataitai to City and the top of Ellice Street.

Intermediate

Bike and Foot

Narrow, steep, and root-infested little piece of single track that drops down through the trees from Hataitai to City to the top of Ellice Street.

The top of the track isn't well defined. From the sign post on Hataitai to City, head straight down the hill for a few metres and then turn sharply left down a steep little section. From there the track is more clearly defined, levelling out somewhat as it bumps along over lots of tree roots.

Near the lower end you'll emerge from the trees onto the edge of an open grassy area. At that point there is a gas pumping station and the track surface changes to be a sealed path. Follow the path and then turn down on to the road that ends at a steel barrier at the top of Ellice Street.

Climbs quite steeply up from the top of Ellice Street which is itself very steep.

Ends at a sign-posted intersection with Hataitai to City, a few metres after passing the top of Pirie.
