Itinerary:
With the unseasonably warm weather I could not resist organizing an urban bike event.

The plan is to start at Fish Hatchery Park and bike south along the east back of the Bow River Pathway to Fish Hatchery Park. We will then bike around the park for a bit and then travel back to Fish Hatchery Park via the west bank of the Bow River Pathway.

Fish Creek Provincial Park provides a vast array of trails for hikers, bikers, and dog walkers.

You must have a bike capable of going from paved to shale to gravel to single track mountain bike trails. Remember it is winter and there will likely be some icy patches here and there along the pathways.

The pace will be moderate (so please no speed demons) with some breaks. Riders are expected to have some Mountain Bike experience and a decent fitness level.


Required Items to Bring:
- Mountain bike (or capable CycleCross type thing)
- Helmet
- Bell
- Water & Snacks
- Appropriate clothing (rain or shine or snow)
