Cancelled (Road Closed) Highwood Pass North Side G to G to G, Int/Adv, 115km, 1700m, SueGillies

ROAD RIDE - LEVEL: Intermediate (pace) to advanced (distance & elevation)

Date/Time: Saturday July 4, 9:30 am

This ride will be cancelled if the weather doesn't look good.

Coordinator: Sue Gillies

Distance: 115 km

Pace: Riders can go at their own pace. 

Limited stops - we'll probably do a snack at the top, lunch at Highwood House, and another snack at the top on the way back.

Elevation Gain: 1,700 m

Description:  Because once is not enough... this ride ascends the highest paved road in Canada twice! An epic route, climbing the pass from both directions, starting from the North side. The whole ride is above the winter gate, but we will be sharing the road with cars.

Please come prepared with clothing for changeable mountain weather conditions. We will be gaining significant elevation -- even on a nice day, it will be colder higher up and the long descent can be very chilly. Please bring enough food to be self-sufficient all day.  Also - spare tube(s) and tire-changing equipment.

Parking: Start from Pocaterra in Peter Lougheed Park -- it's a nice spot for a tailgate social after the ride. 

Park Pass: Reminder! You must have a Kananaskis park pass to visit the park. See: https://www.alberta.ca/kananaskis-conservation-pass.aspx
