Itinerary:
We'll meet at the parking lot to the west of the intersection of Groat Rd and River Valley Rd (Government House Park) at 6:15 PM for a 6:30 sharp departure. This ride will head south across Groat Bridge, following the path east of Hawrelak Park and continuing south and then west through Whitemud Park and Fort Edmonton Park. At Fort Edmonton Park, we may decide to use the paved path that goes "inland", or we may use the unpaved multi-use trail along the riverbank - group decision. Continue south and west toward Terwillegar using the on-road bike route and then some unpaved multi-use trail before hooking on to the paths at Terwillegar. Once we reach the south end of Terwillegar Park, we'll turn around and return the same way. Approximate distance: 20-24km.
Required Items to Bring: Bicycle, helmet, smiles and good attitude. Recommended Items to Bring: Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need. Water, basic bike repair kit, weather appropriate clothing, money for a snack.
