Description:

Due to the success of the Imperial Century ride, I've added another goal-ride to the calendar - the double metric century.  

• This long ride follows the scenic Bow Valley along the Legacy Trail, highway 1A and the scenic Moraine Lake Road.  While the roads are open to vehicles, the speed limits are low.

• Park on our driveway in Canmore at 1018 Rundleview Drive: https://maps.app.goo.gl/nGo3CUxHUuiXGQBC7

• This is a no-drop ride, but there won't be a sweep.  Riders should be comfortable riding in a tight paceline so that we stay together.  This double century should not be your first paceline ride.

• Safety considerations: this road is open to cars, campers and tourists which are probably more of a hazard then the bears that frequent these meadows.

• This is a high mountain road, plan for changing weather and bring layers.

• Cell coverage is not available for much of this route.
