Itinerary:
Meet at 6:30 for a 6:45 sharp departure.

If you think Edmonton is flat, you haven't looked hard enough. In a little over 20km, we will ride 6 killer hills.

Starting at Brent's Stupid Hill (aka Wedgewood Heights), we will ride down into the ravine and grunt our way back up to Cameron Heights. Proceed through Cameron Heights to hook onto the next stretch of trail which will take us down into the river valley and across the ped bridge that crosses the river under the Anthony Henday. Climb back up the other side and head east for a while, where we'll climb the hill with murderous intent (it's not a killer, but it wants to be). When we get to the edge of Whitemud Ravine, we'll turn right and take the exit trail into the neighborhood - entering at Hollingsworth Bend. Take Hollingsworth Bend to Hollands Landing, where you turn right, then left on Hodgson Road, then left on Hodgson Way, which will take us to 23rd Ave. When we get to 23rd Ave, there is a bike path heading east (go left). We will ride down, and then up that, to 119 St. for our final set of killer hills. We'll turn around at 119 St and return the way we came... including back down and up on 23rd Ave, up the other side of the hill with murderous intent, then the river valley at Anthony Henday, then Brent's Stupid Hill.

Although we'll be doing some awesome hills, this event is not a race. We'll be traveling at our customary 16km/hour average pace. Faster folks are welcome to take off on ahead, but should know the route since the coordinator will not be with you.
