This adventure covers our most technical terrain, with flowy breaks amongst stunning scenery. Ridgeback, South Ridge Run are for granite lovers with some steep rock roll downs and ridge-riding challenges as well as dramatic cliffs, but no drops. This is our most physically and technically challenging tour, but may be ridden at an easier pace. Once you're back at the top of Mile Long Field, its taster's choice on how to get back to the AOC.
