The route connects several of the city’s parks and open spaces into a coherent riding experience, offering a relaxed way to explore the Free State capital on two wheels.

What to Expect

Paved paths and compacted dirt tracks through the city’s park network. The riding is easy and flat — accessible to riders of all fitness levels. The route passes through several of Bloemfontein’s notable areas including the Naval Hill vicinity, the Orchid House precinct and various suburban green corridors.
