Itinerary:

Join us to ride ~60km, from Belmead to Devon and back. Most of the trip will be on city streets and highways, so be sure you're comfortable with that. We won't be going at a breakneck speed, but please be sure you're prepared to do a 60km ride (you should have done at least one 30km ride recently).

Meet at the Belmead Shopping Center Macs at 2:15PM for a 2:30 departure. We'll take city streets and bike paths down through Callingwood to Brent's Stupid Hill. We'll get some hill training at Brent's Stupid Hill and then at Cameron Heights we'll take the overpass which is a new corridor to Devon. The bulk of the ride will be on side roads west of torn until we reach Highway 60 for the long hill down, and back up again at the Saskatchewan River.

When we reach Devon, we will stop for ice cream at the Dairy Queen at 40 Superior Street.
