Itinerary:
The Highwood pass it proving difficult to do this year, because of the amount of snow that remains.

To do the ride with the best conditions possible, I'm posting this trip for the day before the pass opens to cars.

The plan is do to the entire closed portion of the road both ways (gate to gate to gate).

Hopefully we'll start at the North gate, but depending on the snow conditions we might start at the South gate. Carpool location will be adjusted accordingly.

  • Distance: 110km
  • Cumulative Elevation: 1600m

Definitely drinks after the ride!
