Tom and I have been wanted to try out some hidden trails in the Bragg Creek area for a while... they're not really official trails, just kind of raked in. We managed to get around to it when he was home in June. We left from the West Bragg parking lot, headed up the 2wd road to the top of Ridgeback, the flew down Ridgeback to the turn-off to House of Pain. House of Pain was a pretty sweet, whipping descent that really would have been hurting if we did it in the other direction! Once we got down we jumped the creek and then headed up the other side... by headed up, I mean primarily pushed our bikes up (check out that nasty profile!). Apparently this trail is kind of uni-directional, but that would be a brake burner for me to do the other way! From there we spun up the ridgeline, past the turn-off to Fullerton Loop and then down Strange Brew to Sun Dog. Super awesome ride! It would have taken us about 3 hours to complete except we stopped a bunch to do some trail assessment along Ridgeback.
