## 📍 Route & Highlights
We'll start with coffee (optional) at
Bono Coffee
in Bridgeland, then head to the
Elbow River pathway
and follow it all the way south to the
Glenmore Reservoir
.
The route is mostly paved, flat to gentle rolling, with beautiful river and park views. We'll take a short break at the reservoir before heading back.
