Friday Evening:
Set up for camping at Pigeon Lake Provincial Park site B-21 by 8:00 PM
We'll enjoy good conversation around a campfire, and depending on how everyone feels maybe we will go on a nature walk for a little bit around the Provincial Park or near the lake.

Saturday:
FOR THOSE CAMPING: we must be torn down and checked out by no later than 10:30 AM and have our cars parked near the check in station.
FOR THOSE MEETING ONLY FOR THE RIDE: meet up at the entrance to the Provincial Park on Township Road 470 by 10:45 AM for 11:00 AM sharp departure. Some of the terrain is potentially soft and there is a bit of gravel, so Road Bikes are not best suited for this ride. Hybrids and Mountain Bikes are a better choice.

Carpool Directions:

Carpool Cost:

The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $62.64 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Thursday, November 21, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.

Notes:

This is not a race, so we'll do our best to stay as a group. Some may be a bit slower and some a bit faster but it's important that nobody get left behind or too far ahead and lost as a result.
Please state in the notes if you will be in a tent by yourself or sharing (if you're camping)
