Where does this bike ride go anyhow?
We're going to meet at the corner of Alice Lake Road and Black Bear Road at about noon and slowly pedal up to Cat Lake to get to the start of the first stage which will be down Section 57. The stage will start after the climbs at the beginning, and end before the trail merges with Cheshire Cat.
We'll then head south and across the highway into the dump trails for stage 2, which will include Rusty Bucket and Sweet Judy. The exact route is to be determined.
Then we will cross the overpass and climb up Dowad Drive to the entrance to Jack's Trail. The third stage will be an uphill stage up Jack's Trail. The stage will end at the entrance to 50 Shades of Green.
We'll climb up 50 Shades to get to the fourth stage, Leave of Absence. The stage will start after the climb at the beginning and end just before the trail meets the Mashiter.
We'll follow the Mashiter to the top of Rob's Corners. Stage five will descend Rob's Corners, turn right on the gravel road after Rob's Corners, and follow the road to Edith Lake. The finish will be at the lake. Let's hope for good weather!
I'm looking forward to seeing you all and your weird-ass bikes in September.
Yours shakily,
Bones Hakey
