The limited number of registrants is related to parking and not the actual number of riders. The club wants to maintain a good relationship with the owner of the parking lot, the Priddis Community Centre. See the preamble on Monday's ride for more information.
If you are carpooling with an already registered cyclist, let me know so I can add you without using up the number of allowed registrants. I'm limiting cars, not cyclists.
If you are a coordinator and not on the waitlist but willing to take over coordinating the ride, I will register you and I will drop out leaving more room for other cyclists.

Description:
A warm early April spring day is forecast and it's another chance to get off our trainers and do some easy-paced early-season spinning on the bike to get ready for the serious riding to come. This is a ride meant for early season intermediate cyclists.
The group will stop at major intersections to regroup and to give our legs occasional rest breaks (as this is an early season ride).
We will take a snack break at Millarville where snacks and water can be purchased at the general store if need be. We will take a lunch break beside the school and community library (west side). Quick snacking can also be done at the regrouping stops.
There are no public washroom facilities on this ride and the porta-potties that were there last year haven't been put out. Cyclists may be allowed use of the washroom at the gas station. There are also chamber toilets at the Brown-Lowery Provincial Park parking lot.
After the ride, we can tailgate in the parking lot or go to Water's Edge Pub & Cafe (if open) for food and liquid refreshments. This will be decided by the group after the ride.
Safety:
There is one steep hill (up and down) on highway 762 and a sharp drop on Plummers Road after Brown Lowery provincial park. As always in the spring, watch for gravel on road edges and at intersections.
Parking:
As this is a mid-week ride, we are allowed to use the hockey rink/community center parking lot for a limited number of vehicles (i.e., 8-10 max).
