Itinerary:

Note: As this event is an out-and-back I'm making it all levels. Depending on your speed, you might be asked to turn around early. However, you still need a road bike for the event.

Distance: 64 km
Elevation: 450m net, 890m cumulative

We will ride on Highway 66 from Bragg Creek to Little Elbow Campground and return the same way. At Elbow Falls the winter gate will be closed, so for the remaining 9km (18km round trip) we will have the highway all to ourselves. If we encounter snow and have to turn back earlier, we may alter the route to add on a few km around Bragg Creek. The anticipated average pace of the ride (exclusive of breaks)will be 20kph.

We will gather in Bragg Creek afterwards for refreshments.
