BeeF Toast (Mountian Bike Trail)The Trailforks website describes this trail as "5-6 mins deceent over roots, rocks couple of drop, berms fact single track, techy in sections but mostly free flowing. A mix of in trees and open areas, usuably rideable all year round but does get quite wet between dec/marh. Experienced riders will really enjoy the trail. Less experienced riders will get through most of the trail at their own pace without issue. couple of drops and small gap jump, gap has an alternative line and the drops are all rollable."

JaFFA SnAKe (Mountain Bike Trial)The Trailforks website describes this trail as "5-6 mins decent for experienced riders. Less experienced riders will be able to negotiate the trail at thier own pace. A mix of fast flowing single track in the trees and short blasts along fire roads to connect a mixture of old dry dn lines and some new wooded section, expect roots rocks and a few gap jumps and drops. Drops are all rollable with caution and gap jumps have alternate lines around them. Gets wet dec/march and rooty area becomes slippery."
