Itinerary:

We will be starting from the Glennfield entrance parking lot.

Heading west on the paved trails, we'll stick to the south side of the creek this time, hitting the black diamond downhill...if you don't feel comfortable with the technical downhill sections you can stay at the top as we'll be coming right back up. This trail system has several technical sections, lots of roots, 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

The elevation gain for this ride is around 800 to 1200 ft over approximately 2.5 hours, 17km to 22km range overall. This will be a relatively difficult fast pace ride and riders are expected to have some Mountain Bike experience and a good fitness level. Get ready for a work out! Come out for a spin, trails are in great shape, mostly hard pack snow, some icy sections so studded tires are highly recommended. Without studded tires you may not have much fun. I'd much rather ride now and for the next two months then in April/May when the trails are wet and muddy! Text me if you have any questions, 403-680-9516
