Dennis Stout Memorial Depot Day Redux Ride
This event's name was changed to honor Dennis Stout. Dennis was a long time and very active member of The Silver Wheels Cycling Club who came up with and created this ride.
This event is similar to the June Depot Day, but later in the year to give those that have progressed over the season a chance to achieve personal goals in the same rider friendly setting.
Several loop options are offered, (both clockwise - CW, and counter clockwise - CCW). Do as many loops as you want, quit when you have had enough. Trail riding will also be accepted. All routes start and end at the Wakeman Elevator.
This is a Map/YOYO (You’re On Your Own) ride. There are no designated ride leaders. The routes are not marked and there is no SAG support. It is strongly recommended that you print your own cue sheets or download routes using the RWGPS Event link below. Riders are encouraged to ride with a partner and carry a cell phone.

Participants should sign in at the Elevator prior to riding. Riders should also check back in when they are finished riding and to record their mileage for the day and indicate they are no longer on the road.
If any folks submit a newsgroup "request for riding companions", their announcements indicating intended star level, distance and start time will be posted here.
There is limited parking behind the storage facilities at the back of the restaurant, at the Wakeman Community Park parking lot, and the gravel lot next to Affordable Storage on Railroad Ave.
PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN WAKEMAN ELEVATOR'S FRONT LOT-THAT IS FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS
The Elevator kindly lets us use their facility for this ride so please patronize them throughout the day. Good food and cold beer!
I am looking for Elevator sitters to sit at the sign in table to assist riders coming and going. Any amount of hours or time of day is needed and welcomed. Please contact me if you can help.
Thanks,

NOTE: Start time change from 7:00 a.m. TO 7:30 a.m. at 8:15 P.M. Friday night.
I plan to ride 50 miles tomorrow hopefully before the rain chances escalate. I'll be leaving Wakeman Elevator at 7:30 a.m. and riding a 3- pace. Tentatively I plan to ride these two routes in the order listed below. Alternatively, I may ride 25 miles of trail for my second 25 if the rain chance or wind is more than I wish to tackle. Anyone is welcome to join me on this "no commitments" ride. You're on your own...I'm not a ride leader on this ride. Eva Weber
