Banff Just the Best Bits, Int/Adv, 90km, 971m, Sue Gillies

Coordinator: Sue Gillies

Difficulty:

E-bikes: Yes

Description:

This is a duplicate of a ride that Lyle had on the calendar in June which was cancelled due to weather.  Let's take advantage of the good weather while we have it!

This route includes Canmore to Banff on the Legacy Trail, Lake Minnewanka with a side-trip to Johnson Lake, Tunnel Mountain, views of Bow Falls from both sides of Bow River, and the scenic golf course loop.

This ride has significant distance and elevation, but expect the pace to be moderate.  Everyone can ride at their own pace, but we will regroup on a regular basis. 

We will stop at Central Park approximately half-way into the ride for a lunch stop, washrooms, and an opportunity to refill water bottles.

There will be an opportunity to tailgate after the ride in the parking lot.

Parking:

The legacy trail parking lot in Canmore, see the map below. Also, formerly the Travel Alberta Canmore Visitor Centre located on the south side of Hwy 1 on the west end of Canmore Service Road. See: https://goo.gl/maps/eNY5ZK1f1JsPwhAUA
