DESCR IPT ION
This recently constructed, short, shared- use track on the slopes
of South Hobart provides plenty of challenge for experienced
cross- country mountain bike riders. The track grading is rated
‘Very difficult’ under the International Mountain Bicycling
Association’s trail difficulty rating system due to its narrow,
twisting and technically challenging route which includes two
steep, paved, rock chutes.
Construction of the Tip Top Track was a collaborative effort
between the City of Hobart, volunteers from the Hobart Trail
Alliance and other volunteers from the local mountain bike
community.
Riders are required to ride the trail downhill i.e. from west to east,
due to the rock chutes. Riders must then return via the M4 fire
trail as access to adjoining Cascade Brewery owned land is not
provided.
