Northern Farm Red Route

The Northern Farm red route is the natural progression for riders who have outgrown the blue circuit — a 20km loop that takes the venue’s signature flowing singletrack and elevates it with longer sustained climbs, sections of more technical terrain and faster overall pace. It shares the same excellent trail maintenance and surface quality as the rest of the Northern Farm network, but demands a noticeably higher fitness level and more confident bike handling than the intermediate blue option.

The Red Route

The red route departs from the main trail hub and immediately takes the longer, more direct climbing option rather than the contouring lines that keep the blue circuit accessible. The elevation gain is more sustained — proper climbs rather than rollers — and the descent sections are correspondingly faster and slightly more technical, with some rocky surface sections that reward active riding technique. For Northern Farm regulars who have ridden the blue circuit to the point of comfort, the red route offers the next level of challenge without needing to travel to the Magaliesberg for a proper workout.
