Celebrate the highlight of the 2023 cycling season, with our 2nd Canola Fields Fondo event, offering rides of various paces and distances along the beautiful canola farmlands of rural Alberta.

Meeting place/parking:  All road rides start/finish at Madden Community Centre

Route (thanks to Heather O for the route design): 

Join us for a Medio Fondo ride starting at Madden, North of Calgary. Pedal north from Cremona, then to Bergen and Sundre, with the return via Water Valley. We choose this route in late July when canola fields create a picturesque landscape of vibrant yellows.

** Even Mr. Cranky is speechless this time because EVCC is the best! **

For shorter routes, or an intermediate pace on a similar route, please check out for our other Canola Fields Fondo ride postings in the calendar. 

Apres-ride social: Join us after the ride for social at the Madden Golf Club patio, which is reserved from 2pm till 5pm. Bring your own or purchase refreshments and snacks at the Club House.
