Itinerary:

Have you travelled in the last 14 days?
Are you showing any symptoms, been in contact with a confirmed case, or been tested positive at all?
Have you read and understood the current restrictions that are club policy during the COVID-19 situation?

Please answer these questions in the comments or medical section during the sign up process, in addition to signing the waiver. Your coordinator has been instructed to remove you from the event if you do not answer or comply with these questions. Failure to follow the guidelines could result in you being evicted from the event even after it has commenced. Your coordinator has this discretion and you could be reported to the club if you create problems. The COC is attempting to keep all members safe and asks for your respect during these difficult times. If you do not wish to follow these temporary restrictions you should not sign up but are welcome to continue after the restrictions have been removed.

Can we beat the weather?
The forecast seems to be a mix of sun/cloud with a chance of showers in the later afternoon
We'll start earlier and finish hopefully before the weather turns.

We'll start with a green trail, heading north on Stoney trail for a little while to warm up. Then we'll turn back to Kananaskis Village where we'll pick another trail. Maybe Kovach Tr out to Terrace Tr. We will ride at a pace suitable for novices and while Stoney Tr is not a technically challenging trail we could end up on a slightly more technical trail. We may even get lost unless someone has a clue where we are.
We will ride as a loose group and regroup to stay together as needed.
By treating the ride as a couple of out and backs from the cars, we shouldn't stray too far in case we need to make a dash for bad weather.
