A few notes from our long distance guy, Wim Kok:
1. Alex Stieda
I came across this news item about Alex Stieda on BC the Randonneur website .
bcsportshall.com/curator-corner/alex-stieda-le-maillot-jaune-the-yellow-jersey-2020-inductee-spot...
2. New Training Route
Here is a neat training route I 'discovered':a. home to Bicycle path of 100 street (near 120th Ave RR crossing)b. turn left or west to the West bypass (4 'speed bumps' on the bike path -📷 )
c. at W. Bypass turn south to KAL Tire
d. cross AHWay at RONA and continue through Grandhaven West to 273 Rd
e. turn right/North on 273 Rd to Charlie Lake School, turn left (NNW) at Charlie Lake Store
f. cross AHWay - use traffic lights North of the store
g. turn right toward Jack Fish Dundee and then left up the hill - Sunny Side Drive
h. at T- jct (Gun range) turn right up the hill Range Rd East to 271 Rd (Beaton Park Rd)
i. go North for about 1 mile to TWP 246 Road
i. turn right/East on the 246 road
k. continue East, then south to FSJ cross Fish Creek and RR tracks, left on 120th Ave
l. at Kin park turn right and you are home
About 30 km - depending on where you start from. All paved, quiet - traffic wise; good chance to see wildlife
a couple of snappy little hills - lots of opportunities to expand. May be a good one for club rides later in the season
3. Rando season needs to be adjusted as BC cancelled all brevets till July 1, 2020
Will let you know new dates and distances
Alberta will start June 1, 2020 again, one month earlier with a totally revised schedule and Covid -19 Ride Rules.

By Jason Beck Going into the second day of the 1986 Tour de France, Alex Stieda had a plan. The 25-year-old cyclist from Coquitlam was riding in his first-ever Tour with the 7-Eleven Team and had put himself into good ...Beatton Prov. Park (Charlie Lake) are open for 'safe distance' DAY USE. That includes the trails. I was out today to see for m'self.
(Cactus Trails are excellent and dry. Stay on the crown land and off the private land - upper bits.)
We understand the Big Bam downhill mountain bike trails are open for some use (conditions depending, until it dries better). The trails are open to the public now and they are doing a bit of a soft rollout, so I would imagine dry conditions only and avoid wet areas. There is a waiver station and a sign in sheet.
Open 7 days a week daylight hours.
