Hey, that was fun!

A really good group and we split up after the first 1/3 or so into faster and slower pelotons, the longer distance goers did pretty much exactly 20.0 km and the intermediate group did 11.9 km. To kill a bit of time, the front runners went up Hidden Trail to Coal Mine Trail and up there for an extra 1.5 km total each way (and 150 m of elevation gain - a 10% grade, well done).

The weather was reasonably cooperative staying in the negative single digits, but there was no danger of sun burns until we got back to the city.

Half of the trails were in pretty good shape, though a little icy, some of the trails must of had a big wind pass by as they were littered with pine cones and needles. Great base and still good enough to spend a day on, but a dump of snow sure wouldn't hurt.

Thanks to you all for coming out and we hope to see you again!
