      Awesome trail network, we had a great time riding a bunch of these trails north and south of the golf course. Thanks to the builders and maintainers!

      Nice work Sparwood Trial builders. Worth a stop and a ride if your passing through. Ride lunch loop up ( counter clock) then half way down link lunch money and Sloppy and for fun flowy down. Good bang for your buck.
