Cascade Valley - Fall overnighter
A very easy and enjoyable ride, even with the overnight rain and graupel.

Kista Vistas Revisited
A three-day trail exploration fatbike ride with friends in the Bighorn Backcountry. Lots of bike pushing and super-chunky downhills!

Foothills Sampler - winter fatbiking
This ride is a great little workout to test winter cycling, bike-pushing, and winter camping practices. The area is prone to high winds (>200 km/hr) that can make travel very difficult and dangerous. Having solid self-rescue contingencies and a stable weather window made this out-and-back a good choice to get an early start on 2024 bikepacking.

Nordegg, Alberta Local Overnighter
Not every route "goes" as planned. The first section of the route was excellent, and the second day planned route was impassable. Our alternate was to complete the loop on the Forestry Trunk Road, part of the GDMBR.

Stoney Creek Local Overnighter
This is a Ride for Ryan, which I had to fit-in a few days early. Information about some of Ryan's profound influences can be found here. Return to Cascade Valley with "summer" wheels on the Slowest Known Time machine.

Yet another Lake Minnewanka Ride Report
In the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic I drafted a Ride Report titled Minnewanka though the Seasons. Didn't want to offend folks that were not able to leave their homes, so it was never published. A few years later, and a few more trips, here's another installment outlining of one of my favorite rides. :)
