Itinerary: | |||||||
The downhill on the south end of Powderface Ridge is steep with areas of large rocks, roots, and also smaller loose stuff.
Please ensure you are comfortable on long, steep descents - See Trail #49 in Doug Eastcott's book Backcountry bIking in the Candaian Rockies. We will be shuttling the road providing there are a few people/vehicles. The road part is only 6km, but uphill. We can ride the road if needed, but will be a slow pace on the road and trail going up as I have a very heavy bike. OH Yeah - Bring stuff for the BBQ. Food, drinks, snack to share, chairs, etc. Maybe a BBQ too if you have a portable one. | |||||||
