A loop trail to the golf course, Trail 8 was designed as an extra workout from Ridgy Didge. It features some large berm corners and undulating rollers. Trail 8 is a very fast and fun descent and the return climb is a real workout, featuring a steep pinch at the end.

Access Info

Starts off Ridgy Didge (Trail 6) at its eastern most point.

      The descent was not worth the climb back up.

      Suggest modifying this trail and the 'Trail 8 inside leg' trail such that inside leg is the normal trail and the old outside route is the extra trail. Most people ride inside leg for preference.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
