This 20km loop is a very good loop for the average MTB rider. The loop is mostly made up of easy to moderate trails with the occasional short hill climb. The loop includes the bottom section of KO which is a very nice roll downhill. Follow the Red Arrows from the South East corner of the car park (Near the toilet) Arrows follow one direction for the 20km but be aware of other trail users as the trails used for this 20km loop are mostly all classified as both directions. This Red Arrow 20km Loop is a step up from our Blue Arrow 10km Loop.

Really well sign posted and in great condition. Fun ride for beginner / intermediate with A and B lines. Couple of more technical bits but nothing you can’t get off and push your bike over! Great MTB park.

We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
