Icefields Parkway. 3 days. Intermediate. Sue G

 ROAD RIDE - LEVEL INTERMEDIATE

Coordinator:  Sue Gillies

Distance:  About 280 km over 3 days

Pace:  About 20 kmph

Elevation Gain:  we're in the mountains

The plan is to stay at the Crossing Resort at Saskatchewan River Crossing for two nights (August 9 and 10) and do out-and-back day rides from there.  Rides can be:  north to the Icefields Centre, south to Peyto Lake, east on the David Thompson Highway, or the section of the Icefields Parkway from Lake Louise to Peyto Lake.  Details to be determined closer to the date. 

The reason I'm posting this ride at this time is that there is a great deal for accommodation at The Crossing Resort, but only if you reserve by the end of March.  The special offer is called the "Hike and Attraction Package".  It looks like the cancellation fee is $25 up to 48 hours in advance.  So - if you think you might like to participate, now is the time to reserve your room!  Reservations need to be made by individual participants.  

All riding can be done pretty much at your own pace.  My pace is rather slow, but I'll get there.....  The scenery cannot be beat!  Hopefully by August some of the rental RVs will be off the road.
