Spring Spring #4: Millarville, Int, 58km, 600m, LyleOpseth

Level: Intermediate

Type:  Road

Coordinator:  Lyle Opseth

Distance:  58 km

Pace:  22-25 km/h

Elevation Gain:  607 m

E-Bikes allowed:  Y

Description:

A warm April spring day is forecast and it's another chance to do some easy-paced early-season spinning outdoors on the bike. We will stop to regroup at major intersections.

Although there are no formal food stops, food and liquid may be purchased at the café in Priddis if open. Washroom facilities may be available in Priddis and Brown-Lowrey PP. The porta-potty for cyclists in Millarville (across from the general store) is usually not available this early in the season. 

After the ride, we can gather at the Millarville General Store and Miss Marples café parking lot where food and liquid can be easily purchased. Miss Marples opened last summer to good reviews by many cyclists (including yours truly).

Safety:

There is one steep hill (up and down) on highway 762 and a sharp drop on Plummers Road after Brown Lowery provincial park. As always in the spring, watch for gravel on road edges and at intersections.

Parking:

As this is a mid-week ride, we cannot use the school parking lot. We will meet at the Millarville hockey rink parking lot.
