Tips from the Community
Climbing Cochrane Pike with a height of 335mtrs might not be the biggest climb around, however, it can be physical and needs determination. Towards the summit is exposed land where wind conditions tend to be harsher. Low level cloud can restrict distant visibility. The surface does have sections of peat / bogland but it is easy to pick a better, firmer ride line around the edges of worse spots. Once at the top the following downhill section is great to ride on. Fast flowing, but on some slightly rocky double tracks, your speed picks up and then vision diminishes due to excessive vibration. Keep the brakes on if you chose as picking a decent ride line and seeing potential parts of the track that you need to avoid, can be difficult on this high speed downhill section.
