TTFs on TrailDrop
Gear Up is one of the steeper bits of trail within the Riverwood Conservancy and connects Spinning Out with the Culham Trail. Halfway down the trail, there is a small but optional drop off of a large root. By linking the jump line on Zaichuk Loop, Narrow Ridgeline and Gear Up, you get a fun, diverse line catered to intermediate/advanced riders.
Access Info
Gear Up can be accessed off of Spinning Out, slightly above the end of Narrow Ridgeline.
