Granary - Millarville Triathlon, Int+, 70km, 950m, Mike Wingham

Coordinator:   Mike Wingham
Distance:  70km
Cumulative Elevation Gain:  950m
Type of Ride:  Intermediate gravel ride on 60% paved, 40% unpaved (24km gravel, 5.5km grass/dirt).  Effort-wise, this ride is about equivalent to a 95km road ride with 950m climbing.
Includes cycling across Three Point Creek on a concrete ford.  Water level should be low at this time of year.  And we'll probably have to walk the bikes up a grassy/dirt track for about 200m.  See the RWGPS route and photos for more details.  
Type of Bike:  Recommended is a bike with at least 38mm-wide treaded tires and low range climbing gears, e.g. gravel bike, mountain bike, or eBike versions thereof.  If you'll be on pedals that require shoe cleats, the shoes should be MTB-style with the cleat recessed into the tread, since you may end up walking a bit.
Anticipated Pace:  15-18 km/hr overall, slower uphill, faster downhill and on pavement.
Duration:  4½-5½ hours total, 3½-4½ hours moving time
We will regroup at all intersections or every 30 minutes.  No one will be left behind.

PLEASE ARRIVE 15 MINUTES PRIOR TO START TIME TO GET YOU AND YOUR BIKE READY
