Note: This is not the official route sheet. Ride organizers may make last minute changes because of road closures or other problems. The route sheet you receive at the start of the ride is the official one.

Some comments from the pre-ride:

1. MUS: messed up signs, someone out in Mission has been turning
signs 90 degrees. Noted on route sheet.
2. Detour through Harrison Hot Springs is no longer necessary
3. Weather was glorious. 7 Volunteers finished... but did you know:
Knight and Day is not open on Sunday nights!
