Itinerary:
We will do the Merlin View Loop and then the southern Goldilocks Loop (Braggin Rights, counter-clockwise around Merlin View, back to the parking lot via Braggin Rights, south along Ranger Summit and back along Strange Brew and a bit of Boundary Ridge). This is about 18.7 km and 1 hour and 45 minutes of riding at a moderate pace.

We will start riding from the West Bragg Creek parking lot at 6 pm sharp, so please arrive by 5:50 pm. The plan is to ride at a moderately fast pace with minimal stops to regroup.

There is no carpool; however, I will be driving from downtown, leaving at about 4:30 pm along Memorial Dr and Hwy 1, and can drive up to 3 riders at a pick of point along the way. Email me if you are interested.
