June 19th Monday Night Level 2/3 Ride

Just like level 1 this ride will start slightly out of town.

We will venture north on Burnham street through Cold Springs turning left on Beaver Meadow.

From there we’ll head south on Canning toward McBride where we’ll tackle the Jamieson Twins from north to south (the much easier way to do them).

We’ll head back to our starting point either through Kennedy, Jibb or Williamson, and if time permits we might finish up by going up Cornish Hollow (from Dale) to Smylie.

This is a great route with lots of rolling ups and downs, with plenty of downhill. Fast and fun and there is fabulous scenery to be had.

It will also afford a sneak of the Jamieson Twins for those enternaing tackling them the hard way one day.

Distance: 25-40 km
