    right "through" royal birkdale - are you sure the path was for golf carts and bike riders, hmm, can't stop chuckling imagining you riding through the surprised but traditional players out there

    not a Danny (or Chargeride for that matter) and a fraction of David's km but a significant one nonetheless - after our turn at covid for the past week so relieved to get back out and hear the gentle whirr of the e-bike motor ready to take up the slack of a still shaky constitution - the better...

    phew, we "crested" all those summits with me leaning to the right to try and get you over, if I ever get a chance to visit "downunder" I had best not be the rental car driver, and you arrive home in a paradise setting!!!

    even though a bit chilly I love seeing the green grass in your photos and your "picnics" in various churchyards seem so relaxing!

    hey Randall, thanks for thinking about me I definitely would like to ride your trails out on the Nose Hill area and with a brother who lives in Ranchlands I can combine two visits on the trip - no studs on tires for me as I ride mostly gravel roads by my house this time of year and climb west...

    Finally I got out for my first outside ride of the year on a beautiful 7 degree C day with just a breeze after yesterday's 100 km hour flip over the transports blast. Seemed so quiet with what I thought was a pretty mundane ride and while stopped for a sip of water I glanced up and saw "company"...

    I prefer to think that fork is levitating magically, not that the pasta is frozen in position with the fork frozen inside, yes any kind of bike ride outside has to beat the old stationary bike in our exercise room with the goldie oldies cranked up scaring the dog, still waiting to get out for...

    and (- 40 degrees F - 32) x 5/9 = - 40 degrees C which is the temperature the two scales are the same and where we are getting close too with the wind chill and I'm getting tired of watching football and and envious of those who can go for a Christmas ride even David who is looking for shade...

    Randall - going to follow your adventures on the Intrigue as a family member was going to purchase one but by the time a decision was made our LBS was sold out of them . . . today's ride could be called "Fire in the Hole" or what the heck . . . about a mile north of our house is a series of...

    I guess I should take a turn at posting something, I enjoy following everybody else's adventures which seem so much more interesting than my local rides - actually after finally getting out on the bike after a two month flare up with my wonky back laid me low I have a much better appreciation of...

    Explore+3 +4 GTS And Sister Amiti - Review • Comments • Q&A

    My wife bought her Amiti almost 2 years ago and loves it today just as much as the first day. I would concur with all of pmcdonald's well written summary. She (hope I don't jinx us) has had no issues with the gravel tires that came with her bike. The amazing part of the Amiti to me is the number...

    After helping out with our Saskatchewan ranch family Charl and I finally get to spend some time living the dream of what retirement should be. We are enjoying the last few days of warm weather camping and biking at Cypress Hills interprovincial park that straddles the provinces of Alberta and...

    oh crap, after reading your post I had to go out to the garage and snap a shot of the olin mark 3's, some of the hills you listed above and a lot of others, not as great on hard pack but a soft ski and a dream on powder, just 10 years earlier than yours bought them in 78, once saw them on a...

    Finally home from a month of mostly vacation in central BC "bear" country that was pretty isolated. I guess one should listen to that internal voice as the following picture I took with my 11 inch bike shoe beside a grizzly track (when Stefan saw the post on Strava I don't think he picked up on...

    As Haystack avoids the 4 legged critters we are trying to keep track of ours out on open range - but it gives me all the excuse I need to pedal around the Bobtail Mountains and even finding some smooth dirt roads that I suspect have seen very little traffic of any sort, lots of blueberry bushes...
