Itinerary:

We will start at the U of C Centre parking lot just across Barrier Lake dam. You will have a choice to do Jewell Pass with Kevin at a very fast pace and only stopping for bike repairs or Lusk Pass with Martine at a bit slower pace and regular stops to regroup. Both groups will keep a fast pace so the rides are best suited for intermediate to advance riders. These rides are shorter than our usual weekend rides because we have a Stampede function to attend in the evening.

Lusk Pass is an out and back with a total of ~ 16 kms and ~400 meters elevation (300 meters gradual uphill, then 100 meters down and then again in reverse). Looks like a great downhill on the way back down.
Prairie View/Jewell Pass is a ~16 km loop with ~550 meters elevation. It is a steeper climb and overall more technical ride than Lusk pass.

We can plan on going for drinks and snacks after the ride but the coordinators may not be able to join the group depending on what time we finish the rides.
