Friday’s Quiet Roads East & West (FQR)

Start time: 10:00AM; arrive 15mins. ahead of departure; bring a mask for parking lot time

Start location: varied: Ardrossan or West Edmonton/Parkland County

Ride leader: June MacGregor

Skill Level/distance/bike: experienced novice-intermediate; 35 to 65km; road bike, e-bike

Description: These will be more relaxed rides for veterans of road cycling, and for cyclists with experience on urban bike paths who want to try rural routes. Participants will be able to handle some hilly terrain and should be comfortable riding with a group. Group-up points along the route will allow riders to go at their own pace, knowing that the group will meet up.  Cut off points will also be provided on longer rides for those who want a shorter distance. Note: this will be a small-group ride (limited number of riders).

When registering, if the ride is “full”, please add yourself to the waitlist. We will try our best to provide additional rides to accommodate the interest.

Come and enjoy the beautiful rolling hills of Strathcona County. We try to stay on quiet roads with good tarmac but occasionally need to cross higher-traffic roadways.

Early on, sunset is 8:20PM so bring a front light and tail light. The last ride will be Tuesday, Aug 31 (sunset 8:07PM; bring front and tail light).
