I would like to extend our weekend Spruit rides and believe that it's possible to get to Albert's Farm. Where does it link up?

what i do is when heading up the spruit, cross over at tana and gleneagles intersection as if you were going through to emmarentia dam.
Once you have crossed the intersection, follow the trail as if going to emmarentia dam. you will go through a muddy dip and then you will cross a small bridge with a small dam on your right. the single track then splits, with one peice heading left and a smaller less defined peice heading right. follow the right hand peice, you will cross past a small community centre/clubhouse place on your right. there is then a long peice of single track which follows between the road (I think its called john mckenzi dr) and the reed beds. follow that. eventually the trail will come to an end at 5th ave. cross 5th and cycle up schroder street and into a park. follow the single track until you come across beyers
cross over beyers and then follow the single track up through montgomery park. cross milner and then follow the trail through to 7th street. cross 7th and you are in the bottom of alberts farm.

We usually exit emmarentia at the top gate, cross Beyers at the robot by the cemetery, ride down to the entrance and turn left to go to Alberts. King_Crispy knows the route well.

Even better, after Alberts farm, add on a trip up to the water tower on Northcliff Hill!
