Starting just off the Rangers office; this line runs along the ridge above the Coombe Tehidy trail. As it dips down into a fast wooded shoot, be careful of walkers near the bottom.

      Had another crack at this one, still need to find the best line (I think I need to stay on the higher line at the beginning for longer). Probably need to drop the seat too, especially for the final drop to the main path. Good fun, looking forward to nailing it!

      Only my second go at this (last time was over a year ago). I was good fun, bit of a challenge in spots - starting in too high a gear also did not help. Certainly looking forward to riding it again.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
