Itinerary:

The plan is to do 2-2.5 hours of evening riding, so we will be back before it's totally dark. If you have a light, or if you're riding home, bring it.

This ride is 60% pavement and the rest some little used pathways including a bunch of interesting, twisty, singletrack. Usually an interesting route, we've seen Owls, Porcupines, Coyotes, Rabbits, Skunks, Mice, small bush bashes (they thought they were getting busted, it was total deer-in-the-headlights) and one naked couple (it's rare, so don't get your hopes up).

From the meeting point we will ride South along the west side of the Bow, cross over at Ogden to the East side and down to Riverbend and Quarry Park. Then up through the neighbourhood, across Glenmore to the Irrigation Canal, past Max Bell, past the Crack addicts (probably not, they are not there much anymore), through the Zoo and back to meeting point. Total distance is 33.8km but an easy 33.8km as there is little elevation change and a fair amount of pavement.

Join us for a mountain bike adventure in the evening. Novices and more advanced riders are welcome to join us, all riders that can maintain 20kmh on flat pavement are welcome.
