Distance: 50 km

Comments: This is one of the more adventurous routes on the map, taking you from flowing gravel roads to rugged dirt tracks and, in places, terrain where the track almost disappears altogether. While you won't encounter any deep, rut-filled mud bogs, some sections are becoming a little overgrown, so packing a folding saw could be a smart move.

At the western end of the route you'll find three water crossings. They're more like oversized puddles than river crossings, with firm bottoms they are generally straightforward passage, but they add a bit of fun and character to an already memorable ride. Get ready for a true backcountry adventure with plenty of variety along the way!
