Makara Peak
April 1, 2007 9:01 pm GeneralTook off on Sunday morning for Makara Peak, touted as having some good tracks. Most of the tracks are pretty well maintained as you weave in and out of the forest, slowly working your way up towards Makara Peak. I did the recommended into heading up Koru, Sally Alley, Missing Link, Aratihi, wussed out at doing the top part of Ridgeline because of the wind, headed down the 4WD track, connected up with Ridgeline extension, and finally SWIGG/Starfish. It was a pretty fun ride, though a massive difference from the technical rock hopping of the Port Hills. Still, a fun couple of hours riding and getting used to the new bike/SPD’s.
