Ride Level:  Urban ride, newcomers and intermediate, easy pace.

Coordinator:  Peter Bradbury

Route description:

An LRT bike ride is point-to-point between LRT stations. Riders elect to travel in the opposite direction on the LRT before or after the ride. An incentive is that the ride is usually downhill. Under a new policy, the LRT can take bikes any day and time of the week at no extra charge.

We head east from the Rundle LRT station on the Rundle and Pineridge pathways and then turn south through California Park. We ride the Greenway south and go through the Foothills Industrial area to arrive at Glenmore Trail. The Riverbend pathways take us to Carburn Park, where we have lunch. After our meal, we ride the tree-lined avenues of Willow Park to the Anderson LRT station.

Location: Rundle LRT Station. Meet on the parking lot on the west side, close to the bridge. Approach on 36 St NE, enter on 20 Ave or 26 Ave. Washroom in Sunridge Mall.

Operations

• The ride will have a co-leader, 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.

Notification and Registration: The system will notify all my Friday events and open them for rider registration ONE week beforehand.

Non-members are welcome as guests. They must fill out the waiver on our website under the Join Us/Guest Waiver and email it to guest@elbowvalleycc.org. Members can sponsor and register one guest. Unsponsored guests will be registered as guests of the coordinator after receipt of their waivers.

Waitlist: If you find the ride filled, you are encouraged to put your name on the waitlist. The chances are that you will replace a cancellation done automatically.

Cancellation: Suppose you are signed up and find you have to cancel. Please do so as soon as you know to leave space for someone else.  Suppose it is necessary to cancel because of weather or another reason. In that case, I will notify you on this page and by Email or telephone by 8 am on the event day.

See you. Peter
