Hi,

I just looked at the RWGPS map and cue sheet. The section along the Cedar River trail has two U turns, adding about 3.6 miles. Assuming we are not actually going to do that, the ride length will be around 36 miles.

Hope to be there, as long as it's dry.

There are no U-turns on the CRT, the ride is 36 miles and 1430 feet elevation.

 

I will love to join you with my friends this weekend. I and my teammates were searching for places where we can get entertained and enjoy our holidays after the hard work in our office and get cheap dissertation writing services from us. Thank you for leaving a map for us.
