Heather and I are planning a ride on Sunday May 22nd starting in Armstrong.  We plan to meet at the Village Cheese Co. for a 10:30 AM start. Our planned route is as follows:
  • Heywood-Armstrong Road to Salmon River Road, then south to Hwy 97
  • Hwy 97 to Barnhartvale Road
  • Barnhartvale Road and Campbell Creek Road to Hwy 5A
  • Hwy 5A south to Merritt for a lunch stop.  (I'm thinking The Grand Pub & Grill, but I'm open to suggestions.)
  • From Merritt we'll head west on Hwy 8 then north on Hwy 97A - Mamit Lake Road to Logan Lake.
  • We'll carry on north from Logan Lake on Tunkwa Lake Rd to Savona
  • East on Hwy 1 back through Kamloops where we'll pick up Barnhartvale Road again on the way home.  
Estimated riding time for the route is 7+ hours with rest breaks and lunch extra.  If we get away on time from Armstrong we would likely be in Merritt around 1:00 PM if someone wanted to join us there for lunch.

Awesome Ride Yesterday!  Great weather and great friends.  Other that the hour spent trying to get through Falkland on the way home it was a perfect day.  Lesson learned - avoid Falkland on the May long weekend.  568 Km in all according to my GPS.
