Coordinator: Bill Stilwell

Distance: 35-40 km

Pace:  15-20 kph

This is a chance to ride west of Calgary with very little traffic for part and none for the rest of it.

The intersection of highway 22 and Springbank Rd. is closed due to construction. This results in us being able to ride within 100m of this corner before reversing course with only an occasional construction vehicle joining us west of RR #33.

Parking spot is the Eden Brook Funeral Home, off Lower Springbank Road.

Google maps will show you the best access route from your starting location

Note, Stoney Trail construction has altered the roads in this area. You can no longer access this location from Highway 8/101 Street. See closure info:  https://westringroad.ca/2021/09/14/partial-closure-on-lower-springbank-road/

Newcomers welcome. Regrouping at corners as required

E-Bikes --yes

Tailgating after event.

There is no map made in Ride with GPS. We are on an out and back route with only 2 corners. We will wait at each corner so no one gets left behind. If we decide to add some extension loops that could add about 5k.
