Itinerary:

Join us to ride ~60km, from Belmead to the east side of Edmonton and back. Some of the trip will be on city streets, so be sure you're comfortable with that. We won't be going at a breakneck speed, but please be sure you're prepared to do a 60km ride (you should have done at least one 30km ride recently).

Meet at the Belmead Shopping Center Macs at 9:45AM for a 10:00 departure. Our planned route is as follows, but we are open to suggestions. We have the city trail maps, West, Central and East. :
- Rhonda's morning commute route to McKinnon Ravine
- McKinnon Ravine down to river valley
- Stay on north side of river.
- Past Capilano Bridge, we take the street beside the park until we reach Rundle Park.
- Continue until the path ends at 137 Ave
- Turn around. Retrace steps to Rundle Park. Cross Rundle Park foot bridge to get to the south side of the river.
- Stay on south side pathways to end of Fort Edmonton Park
- Fort Edmonton Park - Whitemud Rd NW - turn SE
