Itinerary:

This ride is for experienced moderate pace riders, no beginners & no advanced riders please. Trip may change from Saturday to Sunday subject to weather conditions.

We will ride up to the Warden's cabin which is 17 kms one way (34 kms return), stopping to regroup but otherwise riding at a continuous pace. We will have lunch at the cabin before returning the way we came. For those who don't make it all the way, we will pick them up on our return. Although the elevation gain is modest, this is a demanding ride due to the length and technical nature of the ride.

We may go to Canmore for snacks and drinks after the ride.
