lyles 9:00 ride is full. Let’s start a second group at 9:15 and see if we can catch him before Wildflower! 
Carpool leaving PetroCan at 8:00 (north end of service road, west side of Hwy 22, north of Hwy 1).  I can carry 3 added people, as long only one has a thru axle. Email me if you want to carpool. 

It's another EVCC theme weekend and this weekend it's Banff. This a shorter ride than the 110 km whole enchilada ride for those of us wanting to save the trip up the Norquay switchbacks for another weekend.

Parking: Travel Alberta Canmore Visitor Centre located on the south side of Hwy 1 on the west end of Canmore Service Road. See: https://goo.gl/maps/eNY5ZK1f1JsPwhAUA

It's almost everything Banff and Canmore have to offer a cyclist, for those who love beautiful scenery and lots of hills but don't really fancy a leg burn up Norquay. 

This route includes Canmore to Banff on the Legacy Trail, Lake Minnewanka with a side-trip to Johnson Lake, Tunnel Mountain, views of Bow Falls from both sides, and the scenic golf course loop.

Bring your camera because we will stop at some of the best viewpoints. 

AND, wait there's more! We will have a mid-way refreshment at the Wild Flour Bakery in Banff.  https://www.wildflourbakery.ca
