Fun for the Whole Family

Situated conveniently in Midrand, this is a place that one simply has to behold. So much to do for the whole family and the MTBiking here is amazing. There are mountain bike trails for the rider new to the sport, enduro, and technical trails for the rider with more experience.

Imagine a secret place off the beaten track, where endless trails are forging their way. The secret single tracks that are always spoken of but never seen. Only a privileged few have had the opportunity to experience this world, where the elephants used to roam and drink, and folklore talks of magical moments only mother nature can provide. Escape into the undiscovered and become part of the journey.

Join a community of like-minded individuals and influence the future of competitions, challenges, events, and much more! Our passionate community of MTB’ers and Gravel Bikers are helping to shape the future of these disciplines while earning rewards, receiving discounts, and being part of various competitions.

Crank up the magic amidst the picturesque ‘Around the Plot’ Route. This trail rates right up there as one of SA’s ‘greatest gravel grinds’, and you’ll be chuffed to know you can now ride it solo any time you like!
