Glenmore Inn to Ralph Klein Park 30
Ride Level: Urban ride, newcomers and intermediate, easy pace.
Coordinator: Peter Bradbury
Route description:
This ride is shaped geographically as a big square. Starting from Glenmore Inn, we travel south on 24 Street, on both the street and a pathway, and on Douglasdale Blvd. We turn east past Prestwick and New Brighton and then north on a long path across wetlands, home to ducks and other birds. The route crosses to Ralph Klein Park, where we can visit the Environmental Center, see the stormwater drainage system and an orchard, and have a picnic lunch. Afterward, we go north and hook into the Irrigation Canal pathway heading west back to Glenmore Inn, where we can have a coffee or a drink.
Location:
Glenmore Inn parking lot. Directions: Drive east on Glenmore Trail, exit at Ogden Rd., duck under the bridge to the north side.
Operations:
- The ride will have a sweep, employ radios, and regroup at intervals. No one will be left behind.
- Bring lunch, snacks, and water.
- Bring a mask and sanitizer in case of a flat, accident, or washroom use.
- Take your route recording device for more enjoyment and the possibility of leading this ride or a suitable variant next year.
- It will be helpful if you arrive 15 minutes before the start for bike preparation, meet and greet, and a quick safety drill.
- E-Bikes are welcome.
