This is a small holding palm estate and we have kind permission of owner to use it. Please respect this and don’t leave any garbage.
Length ~ 30km
Terrain: Mostly easy with a couple of climbs. Mix of palm, rubber and orchards.
Short Ride: The first 10km is an easy, fairly flat, and interesting ride, I suggest those wanting a short ride just turn back at 10km or before. After 10km it get’s tougher.
Notes: The hare is a running hasher and will set the trail according to the following rules:
Checks will be marked with a scattered pile of paper, clearly visible. There will also be a plastic bag with some dry paper at the checks. Please collect this and use to fill in the check. Please bring back the plastic bags.
All checks will break within 250m as the crow flies if on a rideable trail. Checks which are a bit more difficult and break off trail will be within 150m as the crow flies. You may have to ride further than that to get around obstacles or you may have to bush whack to get through. Don’t expect the hares to be there to help you. If you work together the checks will be easy to break.
There may(will) be circular checks. They still break according to rule 2.
There may be false trails. These will be 500-600m long and the paper will just end without a check. The paper will not run up a tree.
Expect at least 9 checks.
If you break a check you should call “ON ON” and make sure others are following and filling in the check. You can continue without waiting for all the other riders to reach the check.
