where are you riding?

a common question i get asked is, "where will you be riding?". all i know is that it will be somewhere just south of Calgary and that they want the route to be do-able by all types of skill levels, not too difficult but also not too boring. i'm sure there will be some hill sections as i've read there were tough ones in the Toronto ride. but they have yet to announce the official Alberta route at this time.

here is their statement from their FAQ section on their website:

Q. Why don’t you announce the route ahead of time?

A. Though the location of Opening Ceremonies, Camp, and Finish Line will be announced well in advance of The Ride to Conquer Cancer, the route will not be pre-announced. This is strictly a safety precaution as the route may have to change at the last
minute due to traffic signal failures, broken water mains, or any other
unforeseen issues. Therefore, we do not announce the route.

so guess we'll just have to wait and see!
