regarding the MCC membership, the CMRC is associated with the MCC, so that license qualifies you. So will a PN or FMSQ license. CMA will not.
The number of loops is dependant on class, not everyone will ride the noted 3 - 4 laps.
Bring your riding jacket,my wife & I have left Penticton, sunny 35 degrees & by the time we reached the sumitt @ Apex on our mountain bikes it was 3 degrees with a howling wind & snowing..... in July!This has happened to us more than once.Should be a great location for the CEC
