route for the RTCC announced today

i received an email from the Ride organizers today:

Hello Friend,

We have great news! You’ve asked for it, now here it is... The route for The Ride to Conquer Cancer® benefiting the Alberta Cancer Foundation!

You’ll ride through some of the country’s most spectacular scenery from Calgary south along the Cowboy Trail (Highway 22), camping on Saturday night at the Bar U Ranch in the shadow of the Rockies, then triumphantly finishing on Sunday at the Sierra West Ranch, nestled at the base of the majestic Livingstone Mountain Range in southwestern Alberta. Just as in the horseback days of the Old West, you’ll hear nothing but the breeze in your ears and feel the city pressure melt away with each passing kilometre. Fresh air. Sunshine. And a good dose of visual drama, thanks to Mother Nature. The Ride to Conquer Cancer is an epic ride and there’s no better backdrop for your adventure than the big sky of the western horizon.

We look forward to seeing you on the Cowboy Trail!



let's see what that looks like on a map, shall we? =)

it doesn't say where the start point is, so i'm unsure about where in Calgary we take off from. the total distance i mapped out was only about 170km. i'm not sure where they're going to get the other 30km from???
