Itinerary:
You could ride for a week in Rossland and not run out of trails. Most of the riding here has a bit of a downhill flavour and so a strong fitness level is required for the climbs and you must be comfortable on technical descents for the downhills. We will, of course, take in the cross country epic ride Seven Summits. Rossland is a 7-8 hours drive from Calgary and the condo reservation contemplates arriving on Friday night. For those that are able to leave Calgary earlier, I will plan a Friday evening ride around 5pm. If you are interested in extending the stay overnight on Monday, please let me know. I have reserved a 10 bed townhouse condo at Red Mountain, but we are able to accomodate an additional person or two by securing a second, smaller unit. If you are interested, please email me directly. Carpooling will be informally arranged.
Required Items to Bring: Mountain bike, helmet, tools, tubes, pump, hydration pack, lube, wet and dry weather clothes, personal gear for a weekend stay out of town, camping gear. More details once you sign up. Attitude for fun. Recommended Items to Bring: Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
How to Get There:
Event Directions:		Calgary to Rossland is approximately 600km but takes about 8 hours to drive.
