Bowmont-Eastslopes-12 Mile, excellent on Friday afternoon-
Full flowing but clean easy riding creek crossings in 12 Mile, where access has changed a bit due to road construction. Saturday at West Bragg-
Ranger Ridge-Strange Brew-Boundary Ridge, also threw in a descent and climb back up on Sugar Momma before continuing around the loop. Very good riding conditions, mostly dry, with a few soft bits lower down, and a handful of snow patches up higher.
I'm not familiar with these trails, where are these? "Ranger Ridge-Strange Brew-Boundary Ridge, also threw in a descent and climb back up on Sugar Momma before continuing around the loop."

Here! Not being an official trail, "Sugar Momma" is not on the map. Easy enough to find though.
from the potlickers site: http://potlickermtn.blogspot.ca/p/trail-conditions.html
The potlicker blog site also has pages with: - trail conditions for Moose Mountain and West Bragg Creek Area trails - general biking news/info/gossip page - dedicated West Bragg page with info and suggested routes for the new trail network (hit the best/skip the rubbish) - 'top picks' page with routing info for what the guys currently rate as the best rides in the area
Feel free to post comments on the site with any suggestions or trail info.
Cleared some of the larger blow down on Pneuma today. From Friday it's gotten much better. Apart from a few very small sections (Twisted Bench is one) it was rideable all the way to Toothless.
Toothless is running as dry as dusty as a hot Autumn day.
uShoulda is running great as well. The road is still that damn 15% grade though.
Just got back from West Bragg. Did the big loop CCW (Ranger Summit, Sugar Momma, Snagmore, Boundary ridge) and it was in great condition. A few boggy, sloppy sections but 99% dry.
Rode up Pneuma as well, figured someone beat me to all the blowdown as I didn't see any.
Rode down Hot Laps, cleared what I could, a couple of blowdowns will need a chain saw. One tiny patch of snow which is probably melted now that I rode through it.
Hot laps is getting a bit grown over, it will need some love. It would be awesome to see a couple of tabletops and berms built on it.
The Canmore Highline is in overall great shape. As others previously reported, there is snow in the avalanche paths but it doesn't really detract from the riding experience. I'm looking forward to riding those new Bragg Creek Trails.
