Itinerary:

Ride both the New Northern Flow Loop (incl Merlin View) and the Old Southern Flow Loop at West Bragg Creek Trail.

Start with riding the New Northern Flow Loop (Braggin Rights - Merlin View - Reconnect - Long Distance - Braggin Rights).

Regroup at the parking lot to re-hydrate and re-supply and start the Old Southern Flow Loop (Ranger Summit - Bobcat - Sugar Momma - Snagmore - Bounday Ridge).

Expect a long, rewarding day in the saddle with a distance of ~ 34 km with sufficient climbing to satisfy the inner road rider within, but also enough good descending to satisfy the inner down-hiller within.

Pace is expected to be relatively brisk with minimal stops. For those interested we can go to Bragg Creek for refreshments after the ride.
