Although I don't ride a bike, this part sounds like a good suggestion. The
road is not *hugely* busy, and is fairly wide at many points (you should
have lots of room). Two points to consider:

1) If you take Government Road from Lougheed as suggested, then be very
alert where the road bends west at the bottom of the initial slope. The
road narrows to one lane westbound from two and the cars tend to try to 
slip past one another here. The next turn is to the north at the top of
a slight rise. Cars park here, the road bends, cars can't see too well,
so just keep an eye behind you when heading into the turn.

2) At Costco (road starts with a 'B'), you can jog north about 50 feet
and then turn onto the continuation of Government. This road is a lot 
quieter than Winston, a couple of *small* hills, and gets you most of the
way to Sperling/Lougheed. When you hit the end, turn left, then right on
Winston, and you're at the point where the previous poster continues
with:

good luck.
