The wind is supposed to be from the East, so that’s the direction we’re heading. The route is an extension of a Wednesday loop we did this year. Some sections are more technical (for gravel), meaning the ride will be slower. The distance (70 km) has been shortened accordingly. A few sections may also be a bit overgrown, so bug spray and tick-checking are both good ideas. Rest stop is at Flow State at km 56. Tail lights are a good idea. Start time is 8:30 am, should be home before 1:00 pm.
