This is part of our week-long “Up the Elbow” extravaganza event!

This is a classic hilly ride up the Elbow River on Highway 66 to Forget Me Not Pond, before the Elbow Falls gate opens (winter road closure ends on May 15). This can be a good ride for those who want to try their road riding skills on a quiet road with longer hills.

Format: Ride at your own pace -- we will regroup at key milestones, and will stop at Elbow Falls to enjoy the view before the final ascent of the pass

Start/Finish: This route starts at the Allen Bill Day Use Area. There are washrooms, grass and picnic tables here for our enjoyment after the ride.
