About the trail

G-Drop is a fast, narrow, straight line trail down a pine forest in Tunnel Gully. You'll find a few tight curves, a clay drop-down and tabletop. From there, choose between a step-down or a couple of berms. 

Head back through the pine forest for a slow ride until you join up with Station Link, and exit just above the entrance to Tunnel Gully.

This trail is mainly for mountain biking, but walking is also allowed.
