Carolina sits on the Escarpment edge in the eastern Mpumalanga Highveld — an area of rocky, technically demanding terrain that gives this loop its boot camp character. The 32km advanced route is not for the faint-hearted: sustained rocky climbing, technical descents and the physical demands of the Escarpment edge terrain combine in a challenging ride that has built a loyal following among Mpumalanga’s advanced riding community.

What to Expect

Rocky singletrack and gravel roads on advanced terrain with significant elevation change on the Escarpment edge. The rocky terrain is the defining characteristic — angular dolerite and quartzite rocks create technical surface conditions that demand full attention and skilled bike handling throughout. The views across the eastern Lowveld from the upper sections are substantial.

Getting There

Carolina is on the R36 in the eastern Mpumalanga Highveld. GPS: -26.0734, 30.1123.
