I figured maybe someone saw something and could give me the heads up though!

Went out on Saturday and did the north half of the Calgary 100. Went west from West Hillhurst and there was 2 underpasses closed between there and the Zoo overpass. Had to work my way through Bridgeland and popped out behind the Calgary Science Centre. There is a bunch of construction on the paths around there, clears up around 32nd Ave / Elks Golf Course. There was maybe 2 underpasses that were passable, but closed, because Nose Hill Creek was pretty high. From there its a nice clean ride north to Country Hills Blvd and past Harvest Hills Golf into Edgemont.
My iPhone died in the middle of some coulee in Edgemont so I had to get off the paths and onto the roads. Ripped down Edgemont Blvd, on too John Laurie, Shag, 52nd, Charleswood, 19th St and home.
Pretty good trek. Just under 50km in just under 2 hours. Beat the rain. All paths should/could have been open, but for some reason there was about 4-5 that were closed on that route.
The bike in to the core this morning they had you detoured around 14th St again. Not because of the water, but cosntruction I think.
