Description:

Flat to rolling fast 160+ km Century. Carstairs to Innisfail via 2a and secret route after Bowden. West from Innisfail on 354 to Gleniffer Lake. Return via the idyllic 766. We can buy fluids in Bowden or Innisfail, probably nothing available on the return leg. NOTE: We might reverse it depending on wind forecast etc. this would leave the really flat part to the end. There is construction near Carstairs, we may take RR 310 instead of 303.

These are quiet roads.

Stops at intersections to regroup.

This is a relatively easy and scenic Century but pace will be fairly brisk. We'll find our happy pace.

Bring a fast bike, foodstuffs, multiple bottles and a sense of humour. We'll look for dinner nearby for those who can stay. Event will be cancelled if weather or air quality is poor.
