Biking like a Viking offers two non-timed rides. Both rides start and finish at the Strathcona Olympiette Centre in Sherwood Park. During the rides you will get plenty of opportunity to experience the diverse landscape of the Beaver Hills Biosphere and take in your surroundings. At the rest stops we will provide refreshments and snacks to refuel you for the ride.

Anyone above 12 years old with a road bike, mountain bike or pedal assist e-bike can participate. If the participant is between 12 years and 18 years old, an adult needs to accompany the participants.
