Our Rides in Words, Photos & Videos

Oh goodie! Below freezing temperatures!!! . You all amaze me. Beautiful video.

Thanks. We’re still a long way from what we would consider spring weather and there will likely be more thaw and freeze conditions until then in addition to more white stuff. Also, snow in May is an occurrence that Albertans are accustomed to by now.

Wow. I'm not fond of the cold and even less of snow but I would love to do rides like that. Very well done video as always. I commend your area's government for providing such wonderful paths and trails.

Thanks Reed. I don't cope well either with severe hot and humid but admire those who can and are able to provide some wonderful images of where their two-wheelers take them. I may live in the flatlands but the Parkland Region of our province does provide abundance in terms of seasonal offerings.

@Prairie Dog
I guess you are really enjoying the Trance!

Loving it! My expectations of this bike so far have been blown away by its winter performance out in the field. Can hardly wait to let it loose on some serious singletrack. Stamp 1s are installed as well as Ergon GA2s.

Because it was so windy, I tried to keep to the trees on the hill. I found another Tee-Pee structure as well as a Swing Set!

Those tree swings would officially make Nose Hill your playground!

My wife drove down to Cochrane today and remarked on her return home how the wind was blowing the snowdrifts onto Hwy 22.

Much the same on this morning's ride …

Moreton Bay Cycleway
Redcliffe Peninsula
8.55 am; 40 km (yellow arrows)​

The 60 km/h headwinds, that I knew I'd have to ride in to, create some severe range anxiety!

I finished this ride with the Kiox (Bosch computer) showing 100 km ridden and range remaining 110 km.

For once in quite some time I didn't have howling winds to contend with, what a difference! It was the kind of day I would have loved to do a 100 miler but I only had about 2 hours spare so that will have to wait...! It was only 5C this time but didn't feel as cold due to the lighter winds! I got quite a workout with lots of ups and downs which I just love so I was in my element!

My old gorilla friend has lost his mask, lets hope that is a sign

I was surprised to see he has some company now, the zebra better hope somebody is feeding the gorilla!

I'm looking forward to Sunday now which is looking much the same as today and hopefully a longer ride if time permits!

Exciting thread, making the off-bike life less boring! I cannot fail noticing the perfect shape David's in
Thank you, all posters!

Admit it Lee, you sleep with that bike in your bedroom so when you wake up in the middle of the night you can just gaze at it.

True dat if I could get it up the two flights of stairs I surely would hahaha

Think. You have a tremendous incentive to move to a different home. For the bike Lee. For the bike.

Remove the front wheel and the battery

To each their own …

Ted Smout Bridge

I wish I’d been able to swap ebike for kayak for a few hours!

114 pastoral km today. To Fort Langley and Campell valley to Mt Lehman.

A country dog chased me but instead of grabbing my leg he bit onto the saddlebag so I sped up until he could not keep up . I could feel quite a difference when he let go. ( 0 :

I wore out my Xpedo pedals. The mechanic at the LBS said he had never seen wear like that before on a set of pedals.The alloy was worn right down and cracked. I am very proud.

I usually encounter at least one movie set per trip but was surprised to find one way out here.
