Itinerary:

Meet at the Lusk Pass trailhead on the Powderface road. Leave a car at the south end of the ridge. Ride up to Jumpingpound Ridge on the Lusk Climb, ride along the ridge, down the rock garden, and down the south end of the ridge.
This is a short ride at about 12 km, but starts with a 400 m climb which is usually a combination of riding and pushing. There is a couple of kilometres of a rocky section that is slightly downhill and quite rideable by experienced mountain bikers.
If we don't do it as a car shuttle then we have to ride the gravel road back. There is a bail point part-way down the ridge if it gets stormy while we're up there.
