Itinerary:

The plan is to head out from Station Flats and ride up Sulphur Springs to Pneuma, head up Pneuma until we cross 727, a new flowy Moose Mountain trail. I estimate the total distance to be about 20- 24 km. The ride has lots of hills and the elevation gain will be between about 600 and 800 m.

This ride is for strong intermediate and advanced riders. We will take minimal breaks to regroup, to catch our breath on some of the longer ascents and to enjoy the views.

Required Items to Bring:
- Mountain bike, well maintained
- Helmet
- Snacks
- Water (I recommend at least 1.5 litres)
- Tools, tube and pump
- Clothing for all weather conditions

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
- Personal first aid kit
- Camera
- Bear spray

Carpool Cost:

Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $30.00 (calculated at total Km * $0.30, effective Monday, April 15, 2024). This is based on $0.16/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divide by 9. Alternately your carpool driver may choose to split the maintenance cost plus the actual gas cost among all in the vehicle. Your carpool driver will confirm exactly how much money they require to cover costs. Please split the actual cost among all people in the vehicle.
