A great opportunity to cycle this scenic route while it is closed to cars.  

We will meet by the Railway Station - there are washrooms there.  Take Norquay exit from Hwy 1 and go across the railway tracks, then turn left.

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 the 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.

Please note that this map shows us starting at Fenlands but we will be starting at the Railway Station.
