Ride Level: Urban ride, newcomers and intermediate, easy pace.
Coordinator: Susan Chadwick and Crystal Tellett
Route description:
We will ride from Shane Homes YMCA through Bears Paw, up through Church Ranches and return via Burma Rd and Aspen Drive. This will be a 35 km ride with a speed of 16-20km/hour riding on quiet country roads through homes amongst acres of grass, ponds and woodlands. The air should be fresh and the trees turning golden as we move towards the fall season.
There will be no lunch break, which will shorten the ride to approximately 2 hours. We will stop for water breaks and a snack.
There is a washroom at the YMCA which can be used prior to take off, however, no other washrooms on the ride.
Start Location: Meet at Shane Home YMCA parking lot on the corner of Country Hills Blvd and Rocky Ridge Rd in the northwest parking lot. Google maps link:
