A solid 20km route through Nerang which is full of interesting obstacles and a relatively quick route depending upon fitness. If pushing at 11 km/h+ you can do this in about 1.5 hours. Once you reach the top of elevator there are few long climbs and it's quite enjoyable to cruise. The trails at the back have plenty of bridges, logs, jumps and things to spice things up
