Ridgeback was machine and hand built by the Calgary Mountain Bike Alliance and continues to be maintained by that group. It has a bit of everything - smooth dirt, roots, rocks, berms, boardwalks and views – and was designed to provide an alternative to the Tom Snow trail. The trail intersects with Tom Snow at three points, dividing the trail into four sections. While the trail permits all types of use, it is most commonly enjoyed by mountain bikers.
