The iconic Hoogekraal descent and climb, which provides as test of your technical skills in the form of some tight corners and rocky sections that will test you riding ability. Be careful of a very rocky chute at the bottom of the trail, which leads you to a deserved rest at a beautifully placed resting bench at the bottom of the descent. The climb out back to the top of Hoogekraaalll Hill is a gentle, fairly easy meander also in the magnificent Renosterveld.

A very underrated and highly enjoyable piece of single track that includes a punchy little climb to start with, some fast-flowing flat sections, a shifty little descent and the iconic final climb out of Fair Cape up to Malanshoogte Rd. Be sure to stop off and take a breather on the benches at the beautifully built Kierriedraai monument halfway into the trail, built in memory of the doyen and father of the Fair Cape farms.

The undoubted Queen descent of the Welvergenoegd trails, skilfully crafted by trail guru Bennet Nel, this is one white knuckled descent built for thrill. Nothing too technical on this trail, but it is unique with all its features built to blend in with the magnificent landscape provided by the farm and large elevation loss, meaning there is no need for very much cranking here, just pure thrills and satisfaction on this masterpiece of a descent.

A beautiful section linking the end of Trail Z descent to Patrick's Plunge, which meanders gently next to the Diep River under the shade of Willow and other indigenous trees. Here you can stop, rest, chill and charge your legs whilst taking in the splendour of the abundant bird and wildlife in the area as you prepare for the climb up to Patrick's Plunge.

The newest edition to the Hoogekraal trials. Built by master builder Duran van Eeden, this is a proper, extremely fast flow trail consisting of rollers, tabletops, step ups, step downs, singles, doubles and even triples. Over 1.8km long, this trail is one of the longest flow trails in the land. You will need to ride this beauty more than just once in order to discover its subtle innuendos and flow that make this trail a must ride and very much on your bucket list.

Named after the fabled Mike Goodwin, who built the large drop at the end of this trail and the timber roller leading into the trail this is a tough, but exhilarating little descent that leads you directly onto the top of the Gorge descent, should you want to cut out the Gorge climb. Be careful of a small drop off, a tricky rock garden and of course the technically challenging drop off at the end.

A tough but very rewarding little piece of singletrack, starting with a small, punchy climb up to the top of the gorge, that then swings you into a little gem of a descent, full of well-crafted tabletops and corners as well as a very steep drop-off halfway down the descent. The trail ends off with a link into the fun filled Beware Alley and the start of the Puffer Climb.
