We will ride Jumpingpound Ridge loop clockwise.
Starting from the north end of Jumpingpound at Lusk Pass, we will ride up the link to the junction of Cox Hill and JP. We'll then ride south down the ridge to a great technical downhill. We'll either ride the road back or use a car that we've left at the south end.

This ride is for experienced moderate pace riders.

We'll likely have a tailgate party at end of the ride so bring snacks and drinks
