BILLY T
GRADE: 4 LENGTH: 2.1km
BUILT: in 2006 by James Dodds, Rob Metz, Jeff Carter and the Rotorua Mountain Bike Club. Harvested in 2019.
The harvested section is a quick rebuild, still kind of cool but not as cool as it was. Billy is still a pretty good trail though, and worth a whirl if you are up that way.
GETTING THERE:
Billy T starts about 100 steep metres up Tawa Road from the place where the shuttle delivers its passengers.
TRAIL DESCRIPTION:
The opening section of Billy is a classic old-school jungle downhill, traversing a steep slope through a series of corners and g-outs, with plenty of roots and small features to play on. The trail flattens out briefly before getting going downhill again, and then you pop out of the woods into a clearcut bombsite where the trail mellows right out and carries you to the last hurrah, an optional drop off to your right (marked with XXX sign). Scope first!!
GETTING OUT:
Cross Moerangi Road and continue downhill on G Rock, or turn left and climb towards more trails.
