Itinerary:

Glenmore area trails are very sloppy so we're going to move this night ride. It is supposed to be a nice dry week and as of yesterday there is no mud to speak of even now on Nose Hill, so this will be the spot. +8C in the day so should be a great night. Join us this Wednesday for a night ride around Nose Hill. Bring your lights and let's get out there!

We will meet at the Shaganapppi and Edgemont parking lot.

Total distance for the loop is about generally about 20 km, but we will adjust for the group if needed.

Required Items to Bring:
-A mountain bike.
- Bike Helmet with a thin toque or balaclava (A Ski Helmet also works well for this event).
- Good lights-at least 10 watts or 250 lumens along with batteries good for 2+ hours.
- Backup light - good flashlight at least so you're not totally in the dark if there is a problem with your main light.
- Warm clothes, in layers, as for XC skiing (cycling and skiing generate similar amounts of body heat).
- Backpack with water or warm drink in a bottle, snacks, dry socks and extra clothing layers.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
- Multi-layer shirts, jersey, sweaters, fleece, wind shell/ski jacket.
- Riding boots or shoes (with insulated booties if you have cold toesies).
- Extra layer of socks.
- Neck warmer or scarf, Arm-warmers.
- Insulated bike gloves, glove liners (bring an extra warmer pair just in case).
- Clear eye protection.
- Spare tire tube, mini air pump, tools for adjustments and minor repairs.
