Itinerary:
We will start at the Cobble Flats parking lot. The ride starts out with a ford of the Elbow River at the beginning of the trail, so you will get your feet wet. We will plan to stop at the scenic Three Point Creek Gorge for a lunch/snack break, then return on the Wildhorse Trail. This ride will be at a moderate pace and is best suited for intermediate riders - not suitable for beginners. At the end of the ride, we plan have a bbq at LOCATION CHANGED to my place in Cochrane (2 Bow Close). I will supply burgers, and ask for assistance with burger buns, salads & deserts. Also showers & hot tub are available, so bring a towel & bathing suit.
