Itinerary:
We start on the south side of the 1A west of Hwy 22. Turn south from the 1A 100 meters west of Horse Creek Road heading north. Park +/- 200m south where the road widens.

We will head east on the 1A to Grand Valley Road. It winds north and west, then we head east to Horse Creek Road, following it south to the 1A again. There is an option for a few more km's at the north end or east from the Horse Creek Road. The pace will not be real fast - a more casual atmoshpere, but not a slowpoke ride - No racers either please! If you don't plan on staying with the group or waiting to regroup, please do not sign up! Distance is 45-50 km of foothills valley roads. No long climbs, but a number of small hills. Very nice scenery with ranches and acreages and the Rockies for a backdrop.

Road bike, hybrid, or mountin bike with road tires.
Helmet - No exceptions.
Clothing for any conditions!
Water, snack, tools.
