Big Elbow/Little Elbow Loop (Kananaskis)

Not technical, but fire roads, loose gravel, tacky trail and we had to walk across the Elbow River. 8 to 10 inches of fast moving, very chilly water. Just shy of 1000m climbing and 46.2 kms long. Ended at 2225m above sea level. Little Elbow was almost all downhill for 18k. Rip roaring 50k plus for long stretches. Lots of fun and the best scenery I have seen since coming to Alberta. If you're into more of an adventure ride... this is a good one. I'm going to do this again.
