There are two starting points to the route – so you can choose between parking at the Paradyskloof Plantation or at the Engen Garage on the R44. The Paradyskloof Pine Plantation consists of a maze of tracks and trails, ideal for single and downhill track riding. These tracks continue on to the northern side where it links up with the Coetzenburg areas, giving you the opportunity to extend your ride based on how much time you have available. If you move towards the Dalsig side of Eden, there are some brilliant downhill opportunities at G-Spot to finish of your ride in the plantation. G-Spot itself consists of awesome jumps and tight turns that will be sure to get the adrenaline flowing. You can choose your own routes, so riding time can be anything between 1-3 hours.
