Routes are posted and a few notes about them

The routes and cue sheets have been added to the previous ride day information post.

There are two sections that could be confusing to people and/or their GPS device that are called out below. These will also be discussed at the pre-ride meeting. 


Triangle of confusion:
At 33.8 miles the 70 and 50 course split apart here and go different directions. The roads here form a triangle which confuses a lot of GPS devices and sends you on some weird loop with the road triangle.

What you need to-do is easy.
The 70 mile continues straight through here and turns 
left onto Greer Ave NW shortly after.
The 50 mile turns right here onto Gowan Ave NW.

The 70 mile ends up back here again at 53.8 miles and turns left onto Gowan Ave NW


Yes there really is a road here:
If you're checking out the route ahead of time you might see at mile 40.6 (50 mile route) or 60.6 (70 mile route) what looks like an off road adventure through a field. Don't worry its not, the city just moved the road since last year and kept the same name. None of the online satellite maps show it yet. So there is a road here, the new "Donnelly Dr NW" and not any adventure through a field like it appears on satellite maps
