Sunday Dec 8 "MTB-cross-light"

[schouten]

Why have 1 ride when you can have 3?!

For those desiring a "later" 7:30am (7:50am Switch Bridge pick-up) start but still want some dirty gravelly goodness, I'll be heading out for a regular Sunday Cross ride through Thetis. This ride was inspired from last Saturday's ride; removed bad bits, kept good bits, added new bits (heatmap verified). The loop is less than 30km, minus commute to Thetis and back so should be roughly 50km. It should be less technical than Canada Cup Trail but I can't vouch for the unknown bits.

Highlights:

Deviating off Highland Rd to enjoy little bits of Single Track
Francis King
Climb up Munn (Sorry, necessary evil)
Optimistically catching up with early MTB-Cross ride
Trying Frank's Trail - (New! - Kallie's Korner bypass)
Electric Avenue/Light/Lighthouse
Possible Speedway to Millstream Creek Trail (New! - GravelMap don't steer me wrong)

* I estimate we'll land at Corry Rd south (Munn Rd Mt Work lot) between 8:40 and 9:00. I'll text Ron a half-hour warning and if the stars align and we actually pull this off...it'll be a fortuitous meet-up for the history books!

I will see you at the Switch at 7:50, Ron. Would join the 1st option if had better lights and didn’t want to “sleep in”.

Hopefully the “bad parts” includes Munn Road.

Sounds good Ritchie. Yes, the bigger ride sounds like fun. Another day...
