Blue skies, surfing and sunny days 😎- we went from minus 27 Celsius two days ago to plus 10 today with those Chinook winds blowing in from the west, had to look up perihelion, (around the sun, at our closest) should have known that having taught earth sciences many "moons" ago

Great pictures and commentary Art, felt like I was there - Sai surging past more riders made me think all those central Alberta training rides put both of you in good stead on your epic rides in Japan - and those "bridge" pictures will be giving Stefan's bridge reports a run for his money . . .

And put up in Lake Havasu City Arizona at least that's what it says when we pedalled across a couple of winters ago

After days of rain a shot of sunshine was captured among the fall golden colors here in northern British Columbia. We use the excuse of finding reluctant cow calve pairs coming home off the open range to take a spin on our bikes. One of the pictures is with a grandson who convinced grandma to...

A dumpster "eh" they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we've met a lot of seniors heading home to Alaska and the Yukon and even in 2024 there is still that sense of adventure and their rv's and trucks packed to the hilt from their Alberta Costco shopping

Pretty hard to follow those Banff National Park photos, absolutely stunning, we are currently camping for a couple of weeks at Dawson Creek British Columbia which is mile 0 of the Alaskan highway. Yesterday's adventure took us to the Kiskatinaw river bridge (now in disrepair and closed) as we...

The ranch has been keeping us more than busy but with extended family visiting we managed a 41km ride covering over 500 metres climbing up through rocky single and double track. Our destination was Norman Lake on the edge of the Bobtail mountains - pretty much the geographical centre of our...

Indeed another awesome ride Rab - I often think that if you compiled your ride reports into a book you would have a travel best seller!!! For one reason or another my rides have been few and far between and I soon hope to change that ... After 5 weeks helping out on the family ranch in British...

Back at the family ranch in Central British Columbia, picture of Deep Creek the ranches namesake and my 3 biking companions, including 14 year old Molly the lab, we have put on a lot of miles together over the years but she really is beyond coming now but I don't have the heart to tell her, just...

good to see you back on the bike Randall - and only 12 km/hr breeze on Nose Hill, maybe some hope the wind will die down here 100 km south of you, wind seems stuck in high gear for several days now, at least getting a few spring jobs off the never ending list - rather be biking!!!

For the last 3 weeks we have been circling the 32 km round-trip in Rarotonga which is one of the Cook Islands. It was a 13 hour flight from Vancouver to Aukland New Zealand then a 4 hour flight to Raro. But for us this a favorite destination and its laid back lifestyle and friendly interactions...

If there are any other "old" regulars wondering where the biking gang disappeared to I finally had a brain wave that this was not 2023 anymore and sure enough found the 2024 - our rides in words photos maps and videos thread - ok it only took me a month to figure it out . . . and now have 11...

One of our favorite camping spots in Western Canada is at the Cypress Hills interprovincial park. We prefer the more laid back Saskatchewan side and it is truly a biking paradise for both of us. We like to come this time of year with the fall colors and the dramatic foothills meeting the prairie...

looking good but noisy and bossy, when the magpies arrive in our yard the other bird species leave, interestingly, a previous Auzzie member on the site would comment how the magpies dive bomb the cyclists in Australia in the spring, I thought he was joking but I guess it really is a thing ...

We are back at our family's ranch in Central British Columbia and relieved to find clear skies. My daughter and son-in-law have noticed several grizzly bears in the area so I give a long blast on my marine horn before entering narrow wooded trails. Tomorrow I will head higher up with the Levo...

much nicer there than on the west side of those mountains where we came across 3 new forest fires near Fairmont Hot Springs, BC- our 4 days of biking turned into 1 decent ride on the Spirit trail and a lot of time on the water with the grandkids then escaped back to Alberta today (for Chargeride...

oh, the rules on reporting on a metric century or imperial for that matter - unless your name is Stefan or Rab or - just kidding - most of us ride metric centuries as well, we just divide the distance over several rides . . .unfortunately, I also know about back issues taking the fun out of...

better there - this time of year best to keep your mouth closed and hope for the best with your nose, in our neck of the woods the grasshoppers are taking over as they thunk against the drive chain, definitely not welcome in the garden!

Well that was a very inspirational video and an amazing selection of photos to view. That trail was definitely above my pay grade but it was fun to watch you tackle it. And with the huffing and puffing we could hear who says you can't get in shape on an e-bike. Great examples of giving the...

Back to our home trails, today followed Willow Creek for about 25 km and the storm clouds building in the Pic let loose just as we got home - power is out and slim pickings in the fridge and Prairie Dog shared his fine job on the BBQ - those ribs look mighty fine!!!
