Itinerary: | |||||||
We will be starting from the Glennfield entrance
but will be parking at the McInnis and Holloway
Funeral Home – Fish Creek Chapel 14441 Bannister
Road Southeast, which is across the street from
the entrance. Do not park inside Fish Creek Park
after the gate or your vehicle will be locked in
for the night as the gate closes at 8pm.
Heading west on the paved trails, under Macleod Trail we’ll continue on single track on the north side of the creek, mostly flat for about 2 km's. The remainder of this ride has technical sections, lots of roots, several 5 to 10 minutes climbs but nothing too extreme. We'll be making the odd stop after climbs and a snack break about the half way point at Bridge #1. *Please be advised that you must stay with the group. Fish Creek Park Single Track Trail Map This will be a relatively difficult fast pace ride with drops and off camber sections, riders are expected to have some Mountain Bike experience and a good fitness level. The elevation gain for this ride is around 1200 to 1400 ft over approximately 2.5 hours, 16km to 18km range overall. You will need decent lights for your helmet and/or handlebars, ideally 10W or greater, or 500+ lumens. Most of us are running with light 1200 to 1800 lumens. Please text me if you're going to be late - you can meet up with us on the trail. Come out for a spin, calling for +10, not going to get many days like this left to ride. May be a little wet so make sure your shoes are covered. | |||||||
