Itinerary:

Road riding, bike shop talk, craft coffee tasting + other surprises all in one day? Join BikesnBrews for this exclusive COC event.

Riders will leave in 2 groups with two ride options: A shorter, slower paced ride or a longer, faster paced ride. Goal will be to split into 2 groups of 10 riders each and I will be looking for a leader of one of the groups. Once we reach Okotoks, there will be 3 interesting stops to enjoy:

Sample and learn about craft coffee roasting at the Home Ground Coffee House on Elizabeth Street. Meet the roaster and hear about what they do. This is a private event and not open to the public.

Then head over to the meet the gang at Ridley's Cycle Okotoks to talk shop, get minor issues looked at along with other surprises planned

Lastly, visit the couple that run Wheel Life and what they have learned the last 3 years. Drool over the Fat Bike inventory they have and meet the house puppy. They also do brew a mean latte thanks to their regular deliveries from Home Ground.

Then the groups will join up and make our way back to the parking lot via Road to Nepal

Ride: watch for country roads w/ narrow shoulders and some hills. Exact routes to be determined based on weather, wind and group size but 2 options will be available. I will need a volunteer ride leader for each group.

Only 1 guest per member and $2 will collected for the COC from all guests and non-paid members. Let's support the COC by buying a $25 membership now to enjoy other BikesnBrews rides planned.
