The canal pathway starts near the canoe club off 17 Ave SE. There is parking at the canoe club, or nearby in Inglewood, ride across the bus bridge over Deefoot. The start of the pathway goes under deerfoot and then alongside Inglewood golf club, a part of the City that not many people get to see.
For shorter routes you could start at the Ogden road boat launch ( or slightly further south) and ride across Ogden on 50th Ave bridge to the canal pathway.
You could start at Glenmore and park at the Glenmore Inn. For shorter try 69th Street SE or the Heatherglen golf course.
Rode the canal pathway to Chestermere today. The part through Calgary has been plowed this winter and have been in superb shape. The bumpiest sections have been repaved (last year) which makes the pathway for a real nice ride.
There is a short 100-200 m with snow halfway to Chestermere.
ANyone have any updates on the connectors to Haskayne Park? Bike access to the Calgary Side of the park?
I’d love to hear if the pathways (Bow River South?) were clear today or have they become icy with the freeze/thaw
You’d be best to ask on facebook groups like Alberta Gravel Cycling, Alberta Road Cycling, Alberta Bicycle touring and bikepacking.
This Forum is near death and caters to a few commuters
Hopefully they have cleared the pathway on your way home.
Hand warmer… Sounds like a nice piece of kit. I’ve been freezing fingers this winter!
Pathways are all clear, but you might run into some wet around the weasel head.
Still lots of gravel so be carful on the road bike, but riding is a full go.
Record how? with a camera? or on garmin/strava etc?
I do use garmin to record rides as a way of keeping track of volume from year to year.
So does that mean that there will be no access to haskayne Park from the adjacent neighbourhood?
Is Haskayne then another dead-end that won’t connect to Calgary?Extremely disappointing if that’s the case. Those blocking access to the park are a special kind.
Good news to report! Someone has cleared the ice from the zoo pathway! The stretch of 15 -20m of think ice has been chipped up and pushed to the side. The entire zoo pathway is running clear as of February 12. Big shout out to whomever cleared it up.
The gates are still closed and all the CoCalgary signs are still up, but it’s clear sailing!
ugh. Spelling!
I meant to type on my tiny phone “12 Ave cycle track”, not 22 Ave. They tear it up and now reroute cyclists on busy roads to a “dismount and walk section. I sometimes wonder if the people who make these decision ever ride bikes?
The City’s lack of concern for the pathway infrastructure is evident from posts like these. We it’s annoying when cycling infrastructure is built then demolished. This happened to the rest end of the 22 ave cycle track east of Olympic way. They your it up and now reroute cyclists into busy streets and pedestrian only infrastructure.
I was looking at Google maps and the Greenline. Wouldn’t it be amazing to have a bikeway or MUP parallel the Green Line from 11 st (Dandy brewing) all the way to link to the Bow River Pathway at the Calf Robe Cyclepath Tunnel?
Man, the City really missed a fantastic opportunity to improve a cyclists ability to move efficiently through the city.
I’d move into Ramsey for sure if that was available.
