A trail permit is required to access the Living Colour Trails - available from Living Colour center at Wolwefontein.

The Red Route is for moderate to experienced riders.

Each route incorporates single track, steep climbs, fast descents, switchback corners with berms, ramp-bridges crossing farm fences, rock garden, portaging and a surprise in the Blue Gums where the green and red routes converge.

And the best part is, as soon as you start to get used to the trail, it changes with the seasons, bringing the added benefit to developing your skill and level of experience.

Always wear your helmet, ride safely and enjoy the ride.
