It is said that nearly 200 icefields and glaciers can be seen along this corridor, giving us something to count while the kilometres tick by.</p> <p>We’ll set off early and begin with a steady climb toward Bow Summit, regrouping for a quick stop and glacier count at Peyto Lake Viewpoint. From there, we’ll enjoy a long descent and rolling terrain to Saskatchewan Crossing, where we can refill water and purchase snacks.</p> <p>Next comes the climb past the famous Big Bend toward the Columbia Icefield. We’ll regroup at the toe of the Athabasca Glacier for photos before continuing to the Icefield Centre for another food and water stop.</p> <p>We will then retrace our route south, stopping again at Saskatchewan Crossing before climbing out of the Saskatchewan River valley and tackling the final major ascent back over Bow Summit.</p> <p>Food and water are available approximately every 50 km, but riders must carry enough supplies to remain self-sufficient between stops.</p> <p><strong>Mountain safety:</strong> Weather can change quickly on the Icefields Parkway, and snow is possible at any time of year. Bring extra layers, full rain gear and sufficient food and water. Large sections of the route have no cell coverage, so riders should be prepared to handle minor mechanical or weather-related issues. Consider carrying bear spray.</p> <p>This is a demanding ride for experienced endurance cyclists who have completed several long rides this season and are comfortable riding around 150km&nbsp; with significant climbing.</p> <p>We should all do one truly long ride each year—this 202.6 can be yours for 2026.</p> <p style="font-size: 18px;"><font style="font-size: 18px;"><font><span><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0"><br></font></span></font></font></p> <p style="font-size: 18px;"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0"><span><strong>Route Map:&nbsp;<iframe src="https://ridewithgps.com/embeds?type=route&amp;id=42391727&amp;metricUnits=true&amp;sampleGraph=true" style="width: 1px; min-width: 100%; height: 700px; border: none;" scrolling="no" data-dashlane-frameid="184"></iframe></strong></span></font></p> <p style="font-size: 18px;"><font><strong>Guests:</strong>&nbsp; Guests are allowed on this ride.&nbsp; Members - you can add non-member as your guest at the same time you register yourself.&nbsp; The guest must fill out the waiver found on our website under Join Us/Guest Waiver,&nbsp; then email this to&nbsp;guest@elbowvalleycc.org.
