Our Vision
- Provide road cycling route suggestions that have a sense of adventure, fun and fitness primarily in the Calgary and southern Alberta area.
2. With the many paved and quiet country roads that we have around Calgary, we seek out lower volume motor vehicle traffic routes for a more stress free and safe ride.
3. Rate our routes so that beginner, intermediate, and expert road cyclists can find just the right route for their next adventure.
4. Update our followers with current road cycling conditions or suggested routes.
Visit the Cycling Directory for a listing of Alberta back country road cycling routes or the Rides blog for specific route information. If you want to read about our most current cycling adventures see our Recent Cycling Adventures.
