Lunch / Rest / Cheering Spots?

Psycho Mike · Guru

I believe lunch will be in Nanton...not sure about the rest stops. If someone is trying to meet up, the course is up. It may be a matter of driving a portion of the course until they get to one of the rest stops.

Hey Mike ... Nanton is really far for a lunch break .. but who knows ... there is only around 30K left of day 1 after Nanton... just a thought

I am thinking lunch in High River... that seems to be about 54K into the ride...

You're right, of course...Nanton is far to be lunch. It'll likely be a pit stop :) There was a distinct "notch" in their course fly-by there ;)

Just got back from the ride headquarters here in town and Nanton is lunch....possibly near/at one of the churches, can't remember....everyone was so busy I didn't push for more info

I believe first rest stop is in High River.

Cheers to all;

no way ... the first rest stop had better be before the 50K mark! And by the time I get to Nanton they better have supper ready...lol

Probably be rest stops in Okotoks and High River before lunch. ;)

there are a few rest stops along the way. and a couple bigger pit stops.

lunch is so much farther this year I'm thinking because how fast the riders were moving last year.

they hadn't even gotten some of the stops up and food ready for the first waves of riders. the first ones to camp were in at around 11 and noon.
