Fast pace! No Sweep! Hilly route! Wheels on the ground at 10:00 AM sharp! Madden 98 km. North from Madden, West on 292, North on Lochend Road(766), to 582.  New pavement! Look for Swan in the slough on north side, 3 miles (5 km west).  Cycle west from 766 on 582 for 4 miles (6.48 km), easy to just count the intersections. Turn south onto range road 35 for 1 mile, then turn west onto township rd 312.  Cross Hwy 22 to Elkton. Continue on township road 312 which meanders to Range Rd 45.  Turn south for 1.6 km to Township Rd 310 and turn west. **** Continue on Township Road 310 following the curve onto Range Road 53. South to the T intersection.  Turn East, left onto Township Road 304 for 1.6 km (1 mile) turning south at the Water Valley sign onto Range Road 52.  This will take us directly into Water Valley.  The bridge by the campground is still rough but better than last year. Careful with speed coming down the hill to the bridge.                  We will stop at Water Valley, both Papa Luigi's and the Saloon are open for snacks, but best plan to bring your own.  Papa Luigi Ristorante makes great pizza if you want to phone ahead!! We will continue south on Range Road 52 turning east onto Range Road 292 past the Water Valley Golf Course continuing East over Hwy 22 and through Dog Pound. (The Road is rough at Dog Pound and can be avoided by staying on 292 and turning south onto Range Road 30.). We will have a tailgater at the picnic tables in Madden.  The Beaver Dam Golf Course is open for food purchases.  ****to shorten ride by 15 km, turn East on T Rd 310 and go south to 304 and onto Hwy 22 into Cremona.  Go east on Hwy 580 to Lochend road (766) and return to Madden. Ride dependent on weather and air quality.  Self directed, no sweep.
