Yes Stefan, happy birthday, your love for e- biking is an inspiration!

We would call our neck of the woods the Alberta Rockies which is along the southwestern part of the province bordering along Dave Matthew's province of British Columbia and about two hours drive to Montana. I guess our famous landmark is Banff National Park which is a little less than 2 hour...

After several days of snowy wet weather a beautiful sunrise and blue sky meant getting out on the Levo. Today's ride was 31 km around our rural home area. Miles and miles of Canadian geese flew overhead towards their northern destination. The distant snow covered Rockies are still at least 2...

until now I had never heard of zen Kenji but after looking at the components, battery, warranty etc certainly caught my attention, great looking bike

3 weeks into our month long stay in Rarotonga the largest of the Cook Islands. We seem to head back here each year enjoying the lifestyle that is not tourist driven like other places we have visited. Each week we head back to Tike bikes to get the saltwater grime cleaned up and bike lubricated...

I wasn't much better until 3 flights of 18 hours just flying time until we reached Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. Road circumference around the island is 31.7 km and I've several days of that now rationalizing the resort happy hour at 4, pre bbq happy hour bbq happy hour maybe I should make 2...

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...

ok Art, I'm watching the Olympics too much as I sit here trying to identify those flowers, hmm, a bell flower or orchid of some sort? as for all you have to show for it the less obvious signs could be good health (by the look of that blue sky smoke doesn't seem too bad today) and so forth, and...

My neighbor's crop of peas, all the crops in our area of Southern Alberta are currently " bumper" crops, the only concern before harvest is, of course, that the great white combine out of the sky arrives with golf ball size hail, but for now hopeful . . .

That's for sure and I even splurged on a bigger cannister for the bike, black bears are not the issue they disappear quickly seeing or hearing the two wheeled monster but the grizzlies are a different matter not sure anything bothers them, 🤔

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!!!
