Braggin Rights is a fun bit of singletrack that leads out to connections with the south end of Long Distance, and Merlin View, Reconnect, Telephone Loop. It's a full bench cut that twists and turns all the way out to the junction with Merlin. The climbs and descents are very much like all the other West Bragg trails. Note that there is a LOT of two-way traffic between the parking lot and the junction with Long Distance. Expect to see dogs, strollers, families walking with little kids, runners, etc., especially in that first section. If you want some alone-time, go very early or very late in the day.

Access Info

This trail can be accessed from the NW corner of the main parking lot.

We ran across a black bear and her brown coloured cub this evening at about 6:45pm. They were on the edge of the trail approximately 500 meters up from the intersection with White Tail (100 meters up from the cut line). Mom and cub ran quite a way down the trail before heading off up the slope towards long distance. Make sure you have your bear spray! Trail was dry, dusty and fast.

	Apr 14, 2018 @ 6:52am Apr 14, 2018	Rode last night when it was -1. Any warmer and it would have been a mud slide and not possible. No chance would I ride that during warmer...
	Apr 9, 2018 @ 9:21am Apr 9, 2018	reporter Mud is starting to show up on the lower section between the Long Distance junction and the parking lot. If possible, enter/exit on Whitetail.
	Feb 26, 2018 @ 8:49am Feb 26, 2018	Some minor ruts. Particularly by the old logging road/1st clearcut
	Feb 15, 2018 @ 11:23am Feb 15, 2018	Fresh corduroy and well packed. Lots of grip with a few short sections of snow covered ice. Rideable without studs. Lots of stoke and wicked flow!
	Jan 28, 2018 @ 5:31pm Jan 28, 2018	VERY icy today. Rode part way from the parking lot and turned back. spinning out on climbs with studded fat tires. not recommended.
