Itinerary:

This bike ride will be an approximately 25km loop around the reservoir (on a paved trail) & will takes us about 1 1/2 to 2 hours (riding + resting) to complete the trip depending on how fast or slow we go. The pace will be "slowishly moderate" with stops to enjoy the scenery, take photos and regroup. This is mostly flat terrain except for a hill on the north part of Glenmore which you can walk up if you wish (it's a bit of a huffpuff riding up!). We'll take the Crowchild & Glenmore overpass for a longer ride.

After the bike ride, we will go to the Point and Feather Pub just across the street and have a cool drink and food. It's wings night (aka cheap!). Just a reminder, don't drink too much booze (but if it's fruit juice, gulp on) and drive/bike home.

If the weather suddenly takes a turn for the worse (unlikely since I'm doing my usual no-rain dance *fingers crossed*), we will still go to the pub for food and drink either way :)

Required Items to Bring:
- Usable bicycle
- Usable pumped up tires
- Non-crash tested helmet
- Bike bell (bylaw must! bring a honker if you prefer)
- Water
- Lock and key for bike if needed
- Clothing for weather conditions
- A happy spirit

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
- $ for drinks or food
- Bug spray
- Bike lights (so we can see you if it gets dark)

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

We'll be meeting in the Glenmore South carpark located at 24th St and 90th Ave SW right next to the playground. From Glenmore Trail head south on 14th SW, make a right at 90th Ave SW going west, then make another right going north on 24th St SW. The carpark is on the first left. If you see boats and the reservoir in front of you, you've missed the carpark (but don't go swimming with your car! - unless it's the 007 model, in which case I want a ride!).
