    This ride is STUNNING. It’s essentially a 20k slow steady climb out of New Denver east across a pass on the way to Kaslo. You could ride all the way to Kaslo and back for an epic 96km ride. I chose to ride to the top of the pass to Retallick.

    I rode it in a Saturday morning at 8:45. It’s so windy and hilly that vehicles can’t drive very fast on it. You could go really early morning but the sun won’t be that high in the sky, and you do want the sunshine in the valley.

    The road is lightly trafficked, in good condition, and is framed by mountain ranges with snow capped peaks. It is bordered in some parts by creeks and lakes on either side. In early July you’ll also have wild lupins and other wildflowers lining the roadsides.

    If you don’t mind a climb, this route is not to be missed!

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
