Celebrate the highlight of the 2025 cycling season, with our 4th Canola Fields Fondo event, offering rides of various paces and distances along the beautiful canola farmlands of rural Alberta.

Meeting place/parking:  All road rides start/finish at Madden Community Centre

Route:

Join us for an unforgettable Imperial Century Fondo starting at the hamlet of Madden, just north of Calgary. Our journey begins with a northeast ride towards Carstairs but to town. From there, we continue west & south through the rolling countryside towards Cremona and a chance to refuel at the country store. We continue west & south to Water Valley where we can grab a quick snack before the home stretch to Madden. We’ve chosen this route in late July, when the landscape is painted in brilliant gold by endless fields of blooming canola—a breathtaking backdrop for an epic day on the bike.
