WinSport's Bike Park is delaying opening due to heavy rain and winds in the forecast this weekend.
Wet, blustery weather in the Calgary weekend forecast has forced WinSport to delay opening day of its bike park.
With Environment Canada and Climate Change calling for up to 100 millimetres of rain by Sunday, the official launch of the park has been delayed until Tuesday, WinSport said in a media release.
A few days of sun will be needed to dry out the soggy trails.
Sorry to rain on your parade, but plenty of wet weather is coming! 💦
The WinSport Bike Park will now welcome riders for 2025 on Tuesday, June 24 instead of Saturday, June 21.
