We had a fine day for this classic ride.
There had to be at least a couple of hundred people riding this fine weekend day, which just made it more like a party!
We were accompanied by Cathy's friend Dave. And Dave's friend Maulin on the way up, he was riding through to Stoney Nakoda.
Started at 9:45, still a little cool about 9 C, but sunny. We ended up delayering pretty soon.
It remained pretty sunny until we were close to the Pass. Reach the pass by 12:45 with a short break at Lineham and a longer one at Lipset.
Took about 40 minutes at/around the summit.
Looked around a few times for Ivan's group who were coming from the north.
It was quite overcast for most of the return, and a little cold when riding at speed.
Back at the cars around 3:15.
Roughly 76 km, 750 m ascent. 5 1/2 hrs.
Many thanks to participants: Sim, and Cathy for joining me, Carl (C/S)
