Itinerary:

Leisurely Scenic Cycle & Summer Drink Days

We will cycle around the reservoir then enjoy a refreshment/ice cream on the Glenmore Landing McDonalds patio before heading home. Choose between a smoothie, iced coffee, fountain drink, cone or sundae. Each on special for $2 or less :)

This is intended to be a leisurely cycle around the Glenmore Reservoir not a fast paced ride. The total distance is approximately 18km and will likely take us up to 1.5 hours to complete at a relaxed pace with opportunity to grab a drink/snack at Glenmore Landing afterwards.

Riders of all abilities on any style bike are more than welcome to register. The terrain is completely paved and almost entirely on bike paths with the exception of a few blocks along quiet neighbourhood streets. For the most part the grade is easy but there are a few short hills as well.

Newbies to the area are sure to enjoy the sites as we wind our way counter clockwise from Heritage Park, behind the Rockyview General Hospital (very nice lookout point here), over the Glenmore Dam, past Lakeview Golf Course, Earl Grey Golf Club and Calgary Canoe Club, through North Glenmore Park, the Weaslehead Nature Area, South Glenmore Park, past Glenmore Sailing School and Glenmore Landing where those interested can join me for a refreshment before heading home.
