This new route is a grand tour of the lakes, canals and new neighborhoods of Airdrie using the city’s extensive pathway system. The ride is a postponement from the previous week because of rain. No hills.
From Genesis Place, ride around East Lake; then head south through Meadowbrook, Ravenswood and King’s Heights. Ride west, then north on the Nose Creek pathway, passing through Nose Creek Park, Ridgegate, Station Crossing, and Willow Brook. Travel west, then circle south through Reunion, Williamstown, and Woodside. Next, ride through the lake and canal district: Sagewood, Canals, and Bayside. Explore the south of Airdrie: Prairie Springs, Hillcrest and Coopers Crossing. Travel north along Luxstone’s border. Turn east through Edgewater back to Genesis Place.
The ride will have regrouping at intervals. Bring lunch. Finish with coffee at Genesis Place. Bring your route tracking device for more enjoyment, and the possibility of leading this ride or a good variant next year.
