This is the Cradle Loop plus some extra. The Neck and Deck restaurant, which is the start and end point, is at the Rhino and Lion park entrance parking lot.
The route is clockwise and the start is outside the loop. Therefore it will be a turn left onto the route after leaving the car park. The yellow route follows the normal Cradle loop out past Valverde.

There will definitely be Yellow and Red groups.
Blue group will however depend on the number of riders on the day.
Because this ride is not in a private venue, we do require, for safety reasons, a minimum number of six riders for a Green group (shortest distance, slowest pace and technically easiest) so will confirm attendance by 9am Saturday and announce the Green group decision.
