So, I've cycled the Golden Triangle multiple times now (for those unfamiliar with it, it's a 3-day ride between Castle Mountain Junction, Radium, and Golden), which is about 110-120km each day. Usually, I've felt like I could have squeezed in another 40km, to make a true century ride (100 miles), so this winter, I'm gonna start training up for that.

Any suggestions on a good century ride departing from Calgary? I'll most likely go solo, so having a few spots to stop and get food/water on the way would be ideal. I'm also thinking I'd like to generally head NW out of Calgary, as opposed to straight west or south.

160km one way, or 80 km out and back, if you have a suggested destination, I wanna hear it.
