Bike Ride (Calgary to Chestermere)


Details
We'll meet at the Riverbend Plaza in the SE (Glenmore and 18 Street SE) and bike from there along the Eastern Irrigation Canal to Chestermere. I'd like to have lunch at the Dockside Bar & Grill in Chestermere. It's about an 80 minute ride each way with less than 50m of elevation gain along the way. There isn't much shade on the trail so I recommend covering up and bringing sunscreen. I haven't done this ride in a few years and I'm posting this to see if there is any interest. If not, I'll set this up privately with a small group.
Distance: 23km each way
Elevation: < 50m
Please make sure your bike is in sound working order. A rescue operation will be a bit tricky (and time consuming) to sort out. Bring a tool, spare tire, other useful stuff in the event of a need to perform a repair. We're exposed to the sun much of the time so I also recommend covering up and bringing sunscreen. I recommend a few snacks and adequate water 3 or more liters.
The forecast for Sunday is mixed so I may cancel this on Fri maybe Sat.
