Route Description: Starting on a nice straight open road into a climb will have the riders turning right onto a level contour road before a sharp left hairpin into the Taylor’s single track to reach the small service road which is being crossed to go onto the newly built 1^st Attemt to do a 65m climb in 800m before reaching the wide open Forrest Buzzard hiking trail for a breather and a final 25m climb to turn left onto the upper contour road. Turn left at the fork, crossing the main road leading to the tower, then right onto some fast single track leading to the Highway to exit left onto a service road which will lead down the hill to the small dam and straight onto the main tower road again to climb back up to join up with the Down Hill Track by turning sharp right. Now for some fast riding leading right into Bloem Drive, down a technical section over some rocks to cross the service road and join up with the Down Hill Track again to cross the main tower road onto the old duel track for some nice bermed corners and jumps to exit the forest at the gate (Finish Line) and hard left into the road for the feeding zone and left again at the junction for another lap.
