Ride Description (scroll down to see the Itinerary with RWGPS links below): Thunder Lake is a fully-supported, intermediate cycling/camping weekend, suitable for cyclists with road bikes or pedal-assist e-bikes (no throttle bikes).  Meet by 8:45 a.m. for a 9:00 a.m. start on Saturday in Onoway at the public parking lot across from the Post Office (5012 Lac St Anne Trail South - south of the railway tracks).  We'll ride approximately 80K on Saturday to Thunder Lake and return 94K on Sunday.  Expect a combination of paved mainly flat highways and country roads.

We'll have a sweep; the pace is relaxed (15-20K/hr) and no one gets left behind. There will be eating opportunities every 20 - 30K.  Our support vehicle can carry two bikes and riders if someone cannot ride or needs a break. The leader will bring their personal vehicle with room for two additional bicycles and riders.

There will be a trip planning meeting for registered participants in the weeks before trip departure (date to be determined). More detailed information will be shared at that time.
