Registration is closed

ROAD RIDE  Relaxed

Coordinator:  Bill Stilwell

Distance: 79

Pace:  15-20 kph when no wind is present 


This ride is by time 

not distance. The intention is to have everyone ride at their own pace. Then when 2 hours of riding towards the pass have passed we all turn around regardless of at what point we have arrived along the road. Assuming everyone continues to ride at the initial ratio of speed we should be back at the vehicles about the same time.

The ride will begin at high noon. We will be turning around at 2 p.m. with the expectation that we will all be back at the vehicles by 3:30 at the latest.


Riders confirmed that as of Friday there was no snow on the road surface to the signage indicating the height of land at the summit.


A special reminder that we generate heat when ascending which helps to keep us warm but when descending the lack of internally generated heat combines with large wind chill factors. So we need to dress and carry additional clothes so we can be comfortable in both extremes

We park at Highwood House and ride up toward the pass. 

Of course a tailgate gathering at safe social distances will occur at the conclusion of the ride weather permitting
