Itinerary:

The Die Hard series of bike rides are meant to be fun, yet a bit challenging. Simply riding a bike in the winter is a bit of a challenge compared to summer riding. Getting out and riding even though it may be cold, snowy, windy, slippery or any combination gives a great sense of accomplishment, almost like going against the odds and coming out on top.

BE PREPARED! Make sure you have suitable tires on your bike, and NO COTTON clothing! Have appropriate layers to keep cool enough or warm enough depending on all the possibilities nature can throw at us.
Andrew is a die-hard cyclist (or trying to convince himself he is) so this ride will go unless the temperature is below -25 Celsius.

We'll meet at the Muttart Conservatory Parking Lot, and head south and through Mill Creek Ravine. Once we get to 63 Ave we'll decide as a group which route we would like to take back to the starting point.
The goal is for 2 or so hours, so be ready for a bit of a lenghty ride.

If the group is up for it afterwards we could meet at a nearby pub for refreshments.

Required Items to Bring:
- Bike (all types are fine as long as there are condition suitable tires equipped)
- Helmet (NO EXCEPTIONS)
- Water
- Basic Repair Kit with spare tube Weather appropriate clothing
Fun and Friendly Attitude

Recommended Items to Bring:
