the canal pathway was built with pretty decent foresight, it is not the prettiest ride, but gives a nice option to riding just on the road.
the one part i find annoying though is the gates at the glenmore underpass - really awkward to negotiate. would be nice is there was another option; however, i understand why they are there.
i like to mix it up a bit and ride right out 114th, then turn left at the stop sign and work my way into the back part of chestermere by turning left again at the school. this is a about a 60k ride from my house in new brighton, the traffic on these two roads is somewhat light and it makes for long stretches of spinning
