Hill Tops and Coffee Shops is an intermediate fitness ride that combines the best of Edmonton hill training and coffee-shop culture, capitalizing on our beautiful river valley and ravines. The routes are mostly along paved multi-use paths and local roads, linking together a series of climbs in and out of the river valley.

This week, our ride starts and finishes at Little Brick (10004 - 90 Street) in Riverdale. It will challenge us with about 440 m of elevation gain over a distance of about 36 km. We will use RWGPS for navigation, but for the most part, the group will stay together as each hill is conquered. RWGPS map is here.

Please Note: The best place to park, if you are bringing your vehicle, is on 90 street, north of 100 A Avenue, by the school yard.

Start time is 9:30 a.m.

Your bike can be a well-maintained road, hybrid, or gravel bike, with well-functioning brakes and a bell. This ride is not intended for e-bikes.

Group size is capped at 12, to respect the capacity of the coffee shops. Guest riders welcome if registrations are not full. (Please check with ride leader, bring signed waiver, and host your guest.)

Note: Registration closes at Noon the day prior to the ride in order to notify the cafe as to our numbers.

Please arrive 20 minutes prior to ride time and be ready for the pre-ride briefing 10 minutes before ride time.

Each week, locations and start times vary, so please read ride descriptions carefully.
