22 kilometre loop in the Edmonton River Valley. Three 50+ metre ascents. Mostly asphalt trail with gravel or dirt sidetrails for off-roading.
Directions:
I usually start on Saskatchewan Drive, but you could start anywhere along the trail. The trail has several road accesses along its length.
Edmonton City provides a Cycle trail map which shows trails on both sides of the river from Terwilliger park to Strathcona Science park and beyond. see Edmonton city website www.edmonton.ca/cycling

UpsideThough out the trail network there are lots of dirt off shoots from the paved trail. You can ride more dirt then pavement if you want. Depending on your line choice, there are fun descents and flowy areas, not particularly long but not bad for a city river valley.
Downsidehave not yet found a lot of technical lines.

UpsideAnother ride on this trail, further east. You can get all the way to the Stratchcona refinery. Edmonton has way less wind than Calgary.
DownsideIt's a city path shared facility. I couldn't find a trail on the south side that looped around the refinery.
CommentGoing further east towards Rundle Park there are two pedestrian bridges at either end of Rundle Park.

UpsideIt's fun ride through forests in places with city view, you can choose to start and stop at any number of locations
DownsideMosquitoes when in season. It's a shared path with other users. Climbing stairs on occasion with bike is hard on the arms.
CommentIt can be as long of short as you like. I've started at Terwilliger to make a longer loop I believe it can be as long as 60km
