Double Dissolution - a political pun for a trail name. The trail has several double jumps on it that can be easily rolled if you don't like jumping. It tends to be quite worn due to the volume of traffic, but it also sees more maintenance than lesser used tracks. This is a fun one to push your personal limits for speed on.
