High Point

This is an epic ride, Ed Callenders "EdMondo" route completed in 2019 has been updated to include the Ranchlands.
It is now know as the Big Six.
Top to bottom of all the major riding areas in Vernon in one ride, no shuttles.
This is no easy task. The EdMondo has been complete by 2 people so far back in 2019. This Route is a step up on that.
