Its spring and many pathways seem to be clear of
snow now. I need to drag my bike out of hibernation
so this ride will be an easy ride suitable for
others also starting the season or fairly new to
riding.
We'll meet and head out for a couple of hours
riding, exploring the pathways to the north. If
there's interest we can stop for refreshments
somewhere during the ride or after. I don't think
we are allowed to do bar patios but maybe ice cream
outdoors at a fast food joint. It'll depend on how
many people and interest.
Being an exploratory wander we can swing back near
the start to allow an early finish for anyone
choosing or continue south along the Nose Creek
pathway for more km's.
This will be a relaxed pace event with a flexible
schedule, and a sociable way to ride and spend a
morning. The goal is to ride 20-30km.
There is a little elevation change from the start
location depending on just where we wander and it
is almost all city pathway with shorter sections of
road. Most of the area seems to be free of snow
now.
We will be staying together as a loose group and
regroup periodically if we get spaced out. From the
parking a new bridge leads us over Nose Creek and
onto the Nose Creek pathway.
