Interestingly, very hard to find any map on your site. No way to plan. Hence one star.

This is a moderate ride in terms of length and takes in a few steep climbs, a good training or warm up ride for the tougher trails. Ref comments about no singletrack, this is designed to be an easy circuit, those looking for singletrack should be using the Follow the dog or monkey trails, which are easily accessible from this route, these though are for experienced riders and not suited to children due to the fact that many riders use the trails at high speed

Our children (8, 6 and 4 years) were disappointed by the blue pepper slade loop and rated it more like a green route as no single track to ride.
