    About the Trail

    This is the longest and most demanding trail, offering exceptional rewards for the effort. The route starts similarly to the Green Route before heading into a largely unexplored part of the farm. The main challenge is a long, steep climb on a gravel road. At the top, you’re rewarded with extended singletrack along a mountain ridgeline, with spectacular views of the Cockscomb mountain range. The trail then descends into a neighbouring valley before a moderate climb returns you to the ridgeline, which you ride in reverse.

    Highlights

    • Long, steep climb
    • Ridgeline singletrack
    • Cockscomb views
