Great steep uphill training! Less muddy than other tracks after wet weather. More drive and incentive if done with others. If you intend to ride the Tip Track on another day or time post it here and I will update this Ride forum accordingly.

Thanks VERT, thought that the existing thread "XC: Welly Tip Track Ride" is only about Tip Track rides every Tuesday evening and it seems inactive, I was there yesterday at 630 PM and no one turned up, so it was the possums and me again Smile , wanted to create a more flexible one.
And I'm aware of the "Tip Track Leaderboard" and I badly want to improve my time there. Smile

I haven't been down Red Rocks before and am keen to have a look. Is there any chance I could meet you guys near the top of the Tip Track at the Red Rocks turn-off? (I'll be heading over from Karori so will go via Salvation and around the fenceline) Smile
