Northern Farms routes

[chris_w_65]

Does anyone know the distance of rotes 2 and 3 on Northern Farms? I know route 1 is 12km

Sorry Chris i dont think i ever follow the routes, I normally ride the perimeter fennce and i think thats about 19km

Not sure. I think route 2 is suppose to be about 20km and 3 about 30-35 odd.

 

Best we have found is to do parts of 2 and 3 and to find a route that works for you and is the distance you want to do. Thats one of the nice things out Nothern farms.

We will probably give route 2 a try this weekend then.

 

Thanks.

Chris route two probably 21kms and route 3 probably about 31kms. Nice new section down by the river a bit like Van Gaalens.

Is route 3 easy to ride? My girlfriend has only been cycling for 2 weekends but on Sunday she managed 2 laps of route 1 = 24km. On one of the laps we took a slight detour onto a singletrack through a field and then through some trees and she enjoyed that.

where is Northern Farms exactly?

Moolz, it's on the road to diepsloot - head out on cedar to the t-juction and turn right. after crossing hte jukskie river you'll see signs to show you where to go buy your entry tickets and then the farm itself is a bit further on. just please abide by the rules and signage - ie don't ride in the opposite direction of any signage and dont ride where there are no entry signs

Cool - hoping to check it out soon!
