Anyone else been bike touring with kids?
We're taking baby steps with our first overnight tour to Elk Island just completed....any suggestions of campable overnight tours (up to about 70kms) would be appreciated.

This popped up in my twitter feed today! http://www.railstotrails.org/trailblog/2015/may/22/how-to-plan-your-first-overnight-bike-trip/ The trail tool isn't useful as it's US-specific, but it has some good tips. This might be too close, but how about Rainbow Valley for camping? It's right in Edmonton! http://www.rainbow-valley.com/

For camping - Rainbow Valley Campground - It is close and easy to get to where the recommended hotels are. Have not been there for a number of years but it used to be a nice campground with showers and a nice grassy park. My wife and I are staying there for the Saturday and Sunday night of the ride. http://www.rainbow-valley.com/
