Itinerary:

Distance: Approx 28km round trip. Elevation gain: Approx 120 feet in parts but mostly flat.

Ben just got a fluffy new classic bicycle and would like to take it out! It has only one speed, weighs a ton so it can carry a pig, so he will not be going very fast! (besides look at his nickname), so if you have cruisers bring them along.

We will be slowly meandering our way from Glenmore Reservoir, through the various twists and turns of the Elbow River bike path to the Zoo. Circumnavigate (that word makes me feel like an explorer!) the Zoo islands and then head back to Glenmore for food and drinks. A perfect spring evening bike ride.

The pace will be slowish with stops to enjoy the scenery, take photos and regroup. This is mostly flat terrain except some small hills here and there so we don't fall asleep.

- Helmets and a Bike Bell are a MUST!!!!
- This time the group will be staying together more or less
