My sole experience riding on Mt Cheeseman aka Mt Cockayne was one of equal parts joy and terror. Mainly terror, as the wide open tussock-dominated terrain surrenders to steep and rooty forest, punishing those not paying full attention and quickly putting you (me) on your (my) arse. It’s fantastic!

Loose Riders Brent and Sam pick a dry day to shralve the leaf-littered loamy serpent and come out on top at the bottom.
