Route description:
This ride starts from the Beacon Hill shopping center, goes south across Stoney Trail, and traverses Citadel before crossing the Trail again on Country Hills Boulevard. We then take the regional pathway traveling east amd south of Royal Oak, then south of Rocky Ridge to 12 Mile Coulee, loops north by way of a moderate climb back into Rocky Ridge to ride mostly on pathways and quiet connecting streets, through parks and bordering ponds winding back through Royal Oak. Returning to Country Hills Blvd for an easterly ride with a tailwind along the 112 Avenue path, view the city, and to the finish at Beacon Hill.
Be prepared for a short steeper climb at Eamon Rd up Rocky Ridge Rd.
Location: Beacon Hill Shopping Center, at the north end, near Canadian Tire. The center is northeast of the Stoney Trail and Sarcee Trail intersection. Drive into the center north on Sarcee Trail.
