Itinerary:

This is a ride for strong intermediate and advanced riders who want to join me on a quest for the ultimate loop that combines the best of the Station Flats and Southern West Bragg Creek Trails.

This is a long and physically challenging ride at a good pace, so be sure you are up to the challenge before signing up. Call me if you are not sure. The ride is about 48 km long with about 1800 m of elevation gain.
We will stop for lunch and snack breaks along the way, so bring enough food and fluids to fuel you for about 5- 6 hours of riding.

The loop will consist of Sulphur Springs, part way up Pneuma, Moose Packers, Ridgeback, Snakes and Ladders, a bit of Ranger Summit, Sugar Momma, Snagmore, Boundary Ridge, Ranger Summit, Bobcat, Ridgeback.

I rode the Station Flats portion of the loop last Wednesday and it is in great shape. We can stop in Bragg Creek to rehydrate and refuel after the ride.

There is no official carpool, but I have room for one or two additional riders and bikes in my vehicle and could arrange a pick-up at the Edworthy Park parking lot. Call or text me if you are interested in this option.
