Itinerary:

The Winter Fun series of bike rides (previously Die Hard) are meant to be fun, yet a bit challenging. Simply riding a bike in the winter is a bit of a challenge compared to summer riding but this offers an element of fun! Getting out and riding even though it may be cold, snowy, windy, slippery or any combination gives a great sense of accomplishment, almost like going against the odds and coming out on top.

BE PREPARED! Make sure you have suitable tires on your bike, and appropriate layers to keep cool enough or warm enough depending on all the possibilities nature can throw at us.
Andrew is a die-hard cyclist (or trying to convince himself he is) so this ride will go unless the temperature is below -25 Celsius.

We will meet at Emily Murphy Park at 7:00 PM for a 7:10 PM sharp departure.
The route will take us South up to Saskatcewan Drive and then down the twisty hill to behind the Equestrian Center, then back up the hill North of the Qeusnell Bridge and through some residential until we meet up with the paved path through McKinnon ravine
From there we will make our way back to Emily Murphy Park.
There won't be too much for hills and it will all be on paved path or roads.

Required Items to Bring:
- Bike (hybrid or mountain is probably best in case there's any snow or ice on the route)
- Basic repair kit (with spare tube)
- Helmet
- Headlamp, tail light, and/or head light.
- Water
- Fun and Friendly Attitude

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
