The advanced groups head out to Maryhill tonight, and if the forecast holds we should have a nice tailwind back into town. The routes are on the long side, but in the unlikely (!?!) event of mechanicals, etc., the rides can be shortened at any point after Chilligo Rd. There is one extended gravel section just before we get to Maryhill. The route turns right at Speedvale and Elmira to avoid a road closure on Speedvale. The official ride ends suspiciously close to Fixed Gear. Bringing lights is always a good idea.
Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s how.
