We offer four non-timed Biosphere rides: 35 km, 55 km, 100 km, and 160 km.

All four rides start and finish at the Strathcona Olympiette Centre in Sherwood Park. New this year is the 35 km ride which allows more participants to experience the beauty of the Beaver Hills Biosphere. During each distance you will get plenty of opportunity to experience the diverse landscape of the Beaver Hills Biosphere and take in your surroundings. At the several rest stops we will provide refreshments and snacks to refuel you for the ride.
