Itinerary: | |||||||
I was out here a few weeks ago for a day hike, and it was OK, but it sure made me think... geez this would be a FABULOUS mountain bike!! Come along... my pace will be leisurely, but we can split into multiple groups if some folks want to go harder and faster. This is a PERFECT event for newbies and novices - I'd be more than happy to use you as an excuse for why I'm so slow. ;) The 97 square kilometre Recreational area contains forests, pastures and wetlands in glacial moriane terrain. Check out the map. We will cycle for 3-5 hours, depending on the group & the weather. The terrain is mostly flat with some rolling hills. We will have some snack breaks, but no official lunch break. **Please note that we will be meeting up at the carpool location at Bonnie Doon Mall at 9:00am & leaving there at 9:15am. My intention is to arrive at the Waskehegan Staging Area around 9:45am.** | |||||||
| |||||||
How to Get There: | |||||||
Event Directions: | Waskehegan Staging Area is located 24 km east of Sherwood Park, south of Hwy. #16 (directly south of Elk Island Nat'l Pk on RR#210).
From Bonnie Doon, head east on 82 Ave, which becomes Sherwood Park Freeway, which becomes Wye Road (a.k.a. Hwy. #630). Turn north (left) onto Range Road #210. | ||||||
Carpool to Event Distance (round trip): | 72Km | ||||||
Carpool Departure Time: | 9:00 AM | ||||||

Carpool Cost: | The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $20.88 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Friday, May 3, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants. | ||||||
