Mattamy Challenge Day One

Ride Level: Intermediate

Coordinators:   Doug McCulloch and Ken Parent

Distance: 60 km

Elevation Gain:  515 m

  Take the challenge.  Ride the Calgary Rotary-Mattamy circle route around the city.  It’s 140 km of pathways with a few roads, a bit of the canal and even a wee bit of gravel.  We missed last year but for the preceding two years Ken Parent and Doug McCulloch have sent out the challenge to urban and road riders.  

This year we’re offering the challenge in a new format.  We’ll do four days of out and back rides following the greenway out and then returning in a somewhat direct route making each day about 70 km in total and, if you do all four, bragging rights.  Tuesdays and Thursdays in August need to be circled if you want to be in.  You are invited to join us for as many legs as you wish but you’ll need to do all four if you want bragging rights.  

We’ll find a spot for lunch along the way so pack fluids and food for the day.  All bikes are welcome.  

Draft maps can be viewed in the club’s Ride with GPS files but note that the order of rides and the return routes will be subject to editing. 

Dates are:   Tuesday, Aug. 10, Thursday, Aug. 12, Tuesday, Aug. 17  and Thursday Aug. 19
