Route description:

Starting just north of the Telus Spark Science Centre, the route heads to Tom Campbell Hill for a city view and then goes through the old, treed Bridgeland community. We pass the Ukrainian church and get more views from the bluff on Crescent Road. We cycle north through Confederation Park and other greenspace and follow the 14 Street  NW pathway as far as Berkshire Boulevard. The Beddington pathway runs along a valley leading into the Nose Creek path, which we follow downhill south to the finish. (Gain 254m.)
