"Bicycling we're in control;
Be the diamond in your soul.
Images come thick and fast;
From the future, from the past..."
-Song Lyrics
.
We will ride down the Bow River Pathway to Diamond Cove, voted Calgary's best-named suburb fifteen years running, and then continue the mystery into lands known only(*) as: The Black Forest, The Babbeling Brook, The Dragon's Spine, The Pearl Necklace, and more.
.
Sparkling garments for you or your bicycle are thematically suiting, but not required. Your christmas things, did you say they are in the attic? It would be a curious and unusual act to dig them up, yet now in the swell of the summer heat.
.
The only requirement is: bring bike lights!
.
I've put a preview sketch of some spoke card art that I will try to finish, print, and get lam'd up for those who share in this dark desire (for lam'd up spoke cards, I mean...)
.
The first part of the ride will be 20km, mostly on pathway and quiet streets, stopping at Canyon Meadows Station. You can multi-modal it home from there, or continue on with your sparkling friends for another 30km into further adventures. Expect: Nitetime. Smoooooooth pavement. And roads, glorious roads and all to ourselves. Oh... yeah!
.
We'll keep it fun! If anyone is tired we'll detour to make sure they get home OK! We can also shorten the second part a bit if we decide to at the time.
.
