Description:

This is short route with climbing and great views.  We will regroup at summits and intersections.

We start from the Sirocco Golf Club (south of Spruce Meadows), cruise west to climb over the "Old" Road to Nepal, then back down to Hwy 549.  We ride east 10k and cross over to the "New" Road to Nepal, going north, up and over the top.  On the descent, just before the last hill, we turn east again and cool down on a lovely and scenic valley road. 

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

We'll finish off with a libation and snack on the patio of the Golf Club Restaurant, so plan to stick aroud.
