Despite the fact that Stage 5 is
the most level terrain in this year’s
Tour of Alberta, the course has the
potential to be deceptively difficult
due to prevailing cross-winds on
the open roads running south to
north. Beginning in Wetaskiwin,
cyclists will race directly north
and eventually east of Alberta’s
capital city of Edmonton through
Fort Saskatchewan, a city that saw
large crowds during last year’s
race. Cyclists will race west to the
Edmonton Garrison for a circuit
finish that will be highlighted by
the use of an airstrip.
