The Blue Tier trail is a 20.6km purpose built single track trail descending from the lofty peaks of the Blue Tier through gorgeous temperate rainforest to the small town of Weldborough. The Blue Tier trail is definitely one of those mountain biking experiences based on its wild beauty, but it also offers primo fast flow for people who want to ride it a bit harder. The trail finishes with the Big Chook descent which everyone loves and once again you ride it at the speed you want to achieve your desired thrill level.
If that run leaves you wanting more you can climb back up via Little Chook and/or Big Chook to the top of the Big Chook descent and do it again! At the bottom of the descent it’s a short pedal on Emu Rd to the Weldborough Pub.
Most shuttle companies offer a day combining Blue Tier, lunch at the Weldborough Pub, and the Atlas run back into Derby. This is a big day out but truly memorable.
