Don't attempt this one unless you are experienced riding in this area,

A long and challenging circular route from Echo Cotier, ridden clockwise. This ride is long, with soft sand, a number of technical sections and navigation challenges. Northern Line and The Ditch pass through agricultural areas between June and December, so diversions may be necessary. Other trails (Monte Pylon, Mango Unchained and Ranger Danger) become overgrown after rainy season and may be impassable between August and December. A bar mounted navigation device is essential for many of the trails.
