Trail Talk – We’re Diggin’ It!
Now the West Bragg Creek Master Trail Plan has been completed it’s time to get trailblazing together!
The plan includes:
- 20 km of proposed new trails
- Widening of ski trails
- Trail improvements through rehabilitation and re-routing
- Bridge upgrades
BCT can’t do it alone. If you love the trails as much as we do there are two ways you can help. Go to Braggcreektrails.org to find out how you can donate or volunteer. You can also find the details of the new Trails Master Plan there.
RIDE TO THE CONDITIONS
With the winter season in the rear view mirror, BCT is waiting for the mud season to begin, if it isn’t already here. We know wearing a layer of mud after a ride is a badge of honour for some but it does take a toll on our trails. This means that our volunteers have to fix the ruts that trap water and contribute to building a bottomless mud hole. This often leads to the dreaded “braided trail” where there really aren’t any good route options.
A general rule for this transition season riding is that the south facing slopes dry up first so head there first. If it’s still freezing at night then you have more options until the sun hits the trail. Our trail crews will thank you for this common courtesy and it will allow them to concentrate of the big projects we have planned for this spring and summer.
See you on the trails
