Route: 

Note: Suzanne is unable to make it to this ride, but I will try to conduct this ride as she normally would :)

I have had to change the route slightly to avoid some pathway ice, construction and some poorly engineered corners.  This will result in using some bicycle designated quiet roads and street cycle lanes. JCH

"For those who have barely been on their bike, let's start with a mellow, shorter ride along a relatively flat course.  We'll park at the Shouldice Athletic park, then ride east on the N side of the river.  Once it warms up, we'll return via the more shady S side, crossing back over via the Crowchild pedestrian bridge.  After we finish, we can drive to the Springbank Heritage Club Hall where there will be food, drink and a time to chat with other members." 

For other routes on roads (not the pathways), please refer to our other Spring Fling ride postings in the calendar.

Apres-ride social: Plan to car pool to Springbank Heritage Club (244168 Range Road 33 Calgary, Alberta T3Z 2E7) if possible for food, beverages and conversation.
