This will be my reconnaissance ride for a longer version in the upcoming Hayride Fondo. 

We start from the Sirroco Golf (just south of Silverado), cruising west to climb the fairly big "Old Road to Nepal." This will taken at your own speed.  Near the top there is a side road to the left where we will regroup. We then climb some more, including one steep hill, to the Leighton Art Centre for lunch.

(Picnic tables, pink chairs, washroom and EVCC bike rack. No food available.)

From Leighton we descend a steep, fast road, then follow a more leisurely downhill to the east, and north to our start.

Bring food and water. And a bright flashing taillight if you have one.

Tailgate or Golf Club Restaurant post ride if desired.
