Late Winter Leg Stretcher in Springbank

Easy late winter get out the road riding legs  Coordinator:  Bill Stilwell

Distance:  60 kms based on groups consensus of about a 3 hour spin

Pace:  16-21 kms/hr

Elevation Gain:  300 meters

 

Come early enough so the  ride can start with wheels rolling at high noon Friday. Park at the pull out approximately 150 m west of the intersection of 101 St. S.W. and Lower Springbank Rd. The  only designated slow climb will be up Wild Rose as we proceed west.

We will stay as a group so after this up and back down we will get a consensus as to how we wish to tour Springbank. Options include directly west stopping at the Recreation Centre and proceeding to the junction of highway #22 and Springbank Rd. or more of a reconnoitre of the side roads as we eventually get to the Recreation Centre and making additional decisions as to how to return to the start.

The hope is we can get a 40 -50 k ride done in about 3 hours on our bikes.
