Do a very short double-track climb and look for the start of the trail
on the right near the top out. Goldmember offers up plenty of steeps,
stunts, and airs, with some harsher technical lines.

On the lower section, keep right to stay on Goldmember at the SFD junction.

      The bottom section of Goldmember is a bit of an eroded, trenched out mess. The rest of the trail is great.
