Ride Type: Loop
Date Ridden: April 2025
Distance: 72 km
Elevation: 621 m

Note: This route is no longer rideable as such due to a 6-year construction plan on the dam where the lake is crossed (i.e. presumably till about 2032. See further notes below.
Why do this ride: Fun and fast rollers through the forest to Campbell Lake and back. A chance to get on Mosaic land.
Difficulty: Straightforward
Other notes: Ridden as part of BC Gravel Series. Nicely organized and great course (this is the 2025 medio). The organizers indicate that River City Gravel Fondo course will be re-routed for 2026 because the original route is no longer rideable due to a 6-year construction plan on the dam where riders cross the lake. There will be a new route coming out that will most likely be mostly on the north side of the lake.
