We’ve been riding virtually every day for the past couple of weeks but have had to alter our ride times to accommodate the constantly changing weather patterns. Morning outings have been more conducive to favorable winds but some days we were forced to ride in the wet.

The missus enters a round-a-bout. With the exception of one incident involving an unyielding vehicle, it’s been a relatively routine practice otherwise. The nice thing about morning rides is that there is less traffic to deal with.

These cute yearling Holsteins were seen running up as I stopped to take a pic. I suspect that they were curious to see if I had something in my hand for them to nosh on.

One thing I can say about the rural traffic along our routes is that it rarely is boring.

Blue sky in sight, mowers delight.

This field of canola that is just beginning to bud out will transform itself into vibrant yellow booms in a week or two.

Love to see other roadies riding along the same routes. Everyone that we come across acknowledges with a wave or just a simple raising of digits from the drops or hoods.

More video footage this one of the challenging Highline Trail that I rode over a week ago in Canmore. Ebikes apparently are not permitted in the backcountry but we did see four Trek Rails pass by us in the opposite direction and the all too familiar hum of their motors. There is simply no way to police the trails so folks simply carry on which I’m in complete favor of. Other riders that I spoke to had no issue with powered bikes cruising the singletracks and, for that matter, I hardly doubt if anyone else would give it a second thought.
