Banff to Castle via 1A, Int, 62km, 676m, RichardThorpe

Coordinators: Doug and Richard, 403-978-6683                                                                    rsvp9999@yahoo.com

Distance: 62 km   Elevation Gain:  676 m

Pace: at your own. Enjoy the scenery.  Coordinator will set regrouping points.

Level: intermediate, for climbing.

Another opportunity to cycle this scenic route while it is closed to cars.  Bring your park pass, or plan to buy a day pass at the park gates. (Sadly "free admission" ended last week.)

We will meet on the back row of the Fenlands Rec Centre (google map link) where washrooms are available.  (Parking also at the Train Station if there is an event at Fenlands.)   

Picnic lunch at Castle junction in front of the convenience store on the south side of the highway.

Note:  From Johnston Canyon to Castle there is car traffic, so ride single file in that section, and a flashing tail light is recommended.

As this is an out and back ride, you may choose to turn around at any time.  But please get word to a coordinator if you abandon the group.

We may not have a sweep, so all riders should stay with at least one other person.  

Some outhouses along route are open.  Full facilities available at Johnston Canyon and near Castle Junction.
