Route description:
This clockwise pathway circuit around the Glenmore Reservoir extends to the south (gain 214m.)
The route starts south, crosses the reservoir dam, and passes the Rockyview Hospital, Heritage Park, and the yacht club. It heads west through South Glenmore Park, then south again on the pathway aligned with 37 St to Anderson Road. We turn back north on Oakfield Drive, with trees and quiet traffic, through Cedarbrae and Oakridge, veer onto Palliser Drive, and regain the reservoir pathway. We cycle through the Weaselhead Flats and have our one climb of the day to an overlook where we have a rest and a picnic lunch. We continue east through North Glenmore Park and north past the rowing club and the Earl Grey and Lakeview golf courses to the finish.
Location: River Park Off-Leash Area Parking Lot and Street Parking, 50 Ave and 14A St SW.
