A Lap Around - Fairview Pump Track

A LAP AROUND FAIRVIEW PUMP TRACK
CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA

Hidden right off McLeod Trail in South East Calgary, AB lies an asphalt Pump Track. It is open to riders of all ages and skill levels. For anyone that doesn't know what a pump track is, it's a paved course that is designed to be ridden without pedaling or pushing. So much fun, a great work out, and an awesome bike skill to learn/practice!
