This is a 33 km loop that starts in Gisborne and is largely roadside or off road single track but a few sections are on road. Note the on road sections are highway speeds in places so aren't suitable for very young kids. There is additional road side single trail available to the south on the Gisborne - Melton Road and to the south to Bullengarook on the Gisborne - Bacchus Marsh Road.
There are a number of built obstacles along the way such as narrow bridges and ramps but generally the trail is a sweet fast flowing type of trail.
