Maclean Creek & Waiporous are really the only 2 areas close enough for a evening ride. I live south of the city near Okotoks and Indian Graves is about 50 minutes or so for me. There have been a few guys riding at Maclean on wednesday evenings for the past 2 years. It really isn't a problem getting a good 3 hour ride in after work. Maclean is a little rutted out in spots so the best plan is to stay away from the north end parking lot trails. You can get a map for the area from the store that is out there. If you try the trails that are marked 'Motorcycles Only' you will find better riding.
As for sand... I don't know of any places close to Calgary. Koocanusa is the best spot to find soft stuff, but thats a weekend trip. Then there's Idaho. Big dunes at Rexburg - that is a 8-10 hr drive though.
When the big melt is done we'll have to hook up for a ride sometime.
