Wheels Around Edmonton

aka

Welcome to the Sides of your Tires.

2 Cloverleafs

Out to Sherwood Park

And 3 or 4 loops around the Traffic Circle

NB to SB

Back to Edmonton

4 or 8 loops at the CloverLeaf followed by a wicked Exit Ramp onto 76 Ave.

WB to WB

Another Traffic Circle

This one has 5 exits.

Does that mean 5 loops?

NW to NW

A nice set of curves

by the riverboat.

NB to EB

Followed by Traffic Circle #3

The inspiration for this tour.

3 or 4 loops to go from EB to EB

A break for lunch

the Burger Baron on Ft. Road and 127 Ave

In case you need to settle your lunch

Another odd shape.

2 or 3 loops around this baby should pack that food down.

WB to WB

Victor’s Variant

Victor suggested adding these curves by the airport

WB to SB

Too Many lights

What the heck.

This let’s us hit all the circles but it isn’t worth driving around this one.

WB to NB

If they keep building these…

we better ride around them.

1 loop from WB to SB

Tilt your head a bit and it looks like a happy face

3 or 4 loops from SB to SB

Almost perfect circle

Least of all

• Just because it is small doesn’t mean it should be left out.

• SE to SB

Traffic Circle #6

As many loops as you want and head back from whence we came

The only perfect circle of the lot

SB to NB

Bigger smiles this time

How many times around before heading off east?

NB to EB

The long and winding road…

that is Groat.

SB

The South Groat Loop

Some nice bonus curves

SB with a detour

Ask Ted about this ‘almost’ circle

If we’re lucky there won’t be much traffic around (or any cops).

SB to SB

And that is it

• 3 visits to 2 different Cloverleafs

• 10 visits to 9 different traffic circles

• A wicked exit ramp

• A loop around McDonald’s

• Groat Road

• And some other fine curvy roads
