Bring a lil'ripper or beginner rider on this skill building short loop. Starting at the parking lot ride around the gate and take the Mountain Road Trail. Cross the bridge and keep an eye out on the right for the Telephone Loop trail head. Take time to teach the young one about gear selection as you climb the double track of Telephone Loop. Peel off to the right onto Braggin Rights and enjoy the ups, but mostly downs of this intermediate trail. Anticipate some rocks, roots and uneven terrain as you eventually make your way to the last descend back to the main parking lot. Remember climbing riders have right of way Once done stop in to our 22X Bragg Creek location to re-fuel and fill us in on how the ride went! Grab any pics of this ride?

Telephone Loop	Mar 15, 2025 @ 7:59am Mar 15, 2025	As at March 9, 2025. Trail is in ok shape for fat biking from parking lot to Disconnect but is a hike-a-bike after that; lots of soft snow underlain by inches of ice, with no bike tracks and one lonely walker. Lots of pushing on the north and west half. Trail gets better once crossing Reconnect and Braggin’ Rights.
Braggin Rights	Dec 23, 2024 @ 11:55am Dec 23, 2024	Mostly Ice, Bring yer studs!
Old Shell Road	Dec 12, 2024 @ 1:42pm Dec 12, 2024	Post holes galore but not terrible.
