This is part of our week-long “Up the Elbow” extravaganza event! 

This is a classic hilly ride up the Elbow River on Highway 66 to Forget Me Not Pond, before the Elbow Falls gate opens (winter road closure ends on May 15.) BUT WE WILL DOUBLE THE FUN. We will climb the Elbow Falls twice. When I did this last year, it came around to about 107 KM. 

Starting at Bragg Creek Provincial Park then head up Route 66 to Forget-me-not Pond or we will just turn around when the gravel road starts. When we reach the information center, we will turn around to start the second climb. Be prepared - this route has an intense amount of climbing! and be self sufficient for the whole ride.

Since this is an out and back ride, you can shorten the ride. Just let the coordinator know.

Format: Limited stops, no sweep - we will regroup at key milestones, and will stop at Elbow Falls to enjoy the view before the final ascent of the pass. We will also stop at Forget-me-Not Pond to soak in the scenery or at another designated spot agreed by the group before we turn around. 

Start/Finish: This route starts at Bragg Creek Provincial Park as shown on the map (NOT at the community centre in town). There are parking spots, washrooms, grass and picnic tables here for our enjoyment and relaxation after the ride. 

Note: The map shows only for one loop. We will turn around at the information center to start the second loop.
