Ride Details
Our destination is the Rainbow Junction Cafe. I have been in contact with the new owners and they are "pretty confident" that they will be able to officially open this weekend. If they are open they will be serving a brunch. In the event they are not open they should leave out water for us. Nevertheless, bring adequate water with you.
This is an out and back ride. Participants need not go all the way to the Rainbow Junction Cafe. There is no water available on Mines except at the Rainbow Cafe so be prepared if you intend to ride part way.
There will not be a designated sweep for the ride. If you leave the ride, please text the ride leader when you end your ride, or if you need assistance.
E-Bikes are encouraged because they allow riders to participate in rides that otherwise couldn't. E-bikes must be pedal assist only.
All participants must register online on the VSBC website or via the Wild Apricot app. You do not need to be a VSBC member, but we’d appreciate your support and you’ll appreciate the many benefits in being a member.
