I have hosted this ride every year (it's my baby) and it's a social ride although we have had separate groups choose to run at a higher speed both years.

At 20 -25 kmh it's a leisurely 3.5 - 4 hour hour ride as we do stop for a short break midway of each leg and taking the back way is longer than heading directly out on Hwy 16 but so much nicer.

It is already looking like we will have a great turn out this year and you do have 50 days to train for this...

I have always ridden this on a fixed gear and it looks like we might have at least 3 more fixed gear riders coming this year as I have tossed down the gauntlet.
