Registration


Registration is closed

Ride Co-ordinator; - Peter Thurston


Difficulty; Intermediate, This is a long day ride, with at least 2 long , high hills. Some of the route is on quiet backstreets. I anticipate this ride might take 5 to 6 hours (including lunch and rest breaks)


Distance; 65 km   


This is a relatively long day ride around the northwest quadrant of the city. Along the way we will view the Crowchild Trail bridge construction up close; ride the 12th Ave cycle track; skirt the zoo; enjoy the Nose Creek Valley; explore the ravines and lakes of the far north; view the city skyline from the west and enjoy the breeze through our hair.


Because the route has many twists and turns we will regroup or ensure corner guiding at all changes of direction. If you prefer to not meet at the starting point but rather want to join us at another point on the route (Eg downtown, or near the SPARK Centre), just let the coordinator know and a meet time can be established.


There are many coffee and lunch options on this route. Tentative lunch location is Evanston or Beacon Hill. A bag lunch is a good idea too! 


To make our re-grouping and rest breaks a little different and more enjoyable I encourage all participants to bring along a few lines of a favourite poem. We will take turns sharing them enroute. Haiku are ok too, but you may be the only one who can understand them!


Directions to starting point.  At the corner of Home Rd and 16th Ave NW, go south (towards the river).  Just past the batting cage is 13 Ave NW.  Turn right and we'll meet in the first big parking lot on the left.  Please arrive at the starting point 15 minutes prior to starting time.

Sharing the joy of cycling in Calgary!
