DENNIS STOUT MEMORIAL

DEPOT DAYS REDUX RIDE

Please come out to ride and keep Dennis in your thoughts. Dennis was a long time and very active member of the Silver Wheels Cycling club who started this ride. I am honored to be the ride coordinator for this event as Dennis was a dear friend and we rode and traveled many miles together.

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. 

There are 2 new south routes this year (thanks to Rob H. for designing them) due to a road closure on last year's routes. Both routes have optional stops at Golden Spur Bakery (open 8-2) and the Wakeman Maple Farm (they don't have set hours but if they are there they will open for riders). One of these routes has 2 sections of gravel- just go slow and be careful, it is a very nice route.

  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.

There is limited parking behind and on the left side (in the grass) of 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 hours or time of day is needed and welcomed. Please contact me if you can help.

Thanks,

Rick Wells
