Description

An epic and rowdy ride to extend the already chunky Dakota Ridge Trail, the South Dakota Ridge Trail extension offers up "bike optimized" trail features: jumps, drops, rocks, and all-around technical riding. The ride is a lollipop loop with an option to use the Bailout trail to the west.
