Itinerary:

Let's ride through Elk Island Park and enjoy this amazing spring weather we're having and see the Buffalo Roam!

We'll meet at 10:00 AM for a 10:10 AM sharp departure.

The road that goes North/South through the park is what we'll ride along, and when we get to the north end of the park we'll turn around and head south to Yellowhead Trail and back to the starting point.
The total distance will be approximately 40 or more kilometers.
If we're up for another lap, we'll do that but it's not mandatory. We'll stop at some point for a snack break at one of the venues in the park.
The road is very smooth pavement and there are hardly any hills, only some gentle inclines which makes a road bike ideal, but a mountain bike would be fine, too as this ride would be perfect for just about all skill levels.
There are restroom facilities at quite a few points along the park
The Visitor's Centre opens at 9:30 to purchase passes.
