A beautiful trail along an open, rocky ridge. Great views West. Original trail builders built a series of Black features - they are separate loops from the track shown. The track is a Blue track and all doable. The BB in the name stands for Black and Blue - the different rides possible. One Black feature is a steep rock face. Best ridden from North to South. A longish, steep hill if biking from South to North.

This trail is unsanctioned.

      Actually originally two trail segments, Fresh Hops to the north and DOTR to the south. Built to IFRTS standards, so needs a sharp eye to see the original route, especially where the more obvious new blue trail is built on or beside the original. Worth the effort if you'd like a bit of a thrill and technical challenge in the midst of the sea of blue that is Ridgerunner.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
