Altitude Training

Enjoying the altitude training with Mona at Lake Louise. Spectacular area.

The Canmore community has fully embraced walking and bicycling. The trails are limitless and scenic. Snowed yesterday!

Food shopping for several days, yum.


Trying out a new steed.

Great Divide Adventure

Image
Dreux's Great Divide Adventure I had to go back and re-read my definition of adventure. Adventure, def.- stepping  out of your comfort zone and opening yourself up to the experiences and beauty that life gives you. Well this adventure will be more of a leap than a step. Comparing this adventure to my TransAmerica ride,  It seems worlds apart, even though the route intersects several times.  http://dreuxsadventure.blogspot.com/2015/05/planning-is-over.html      So what is the great divide mountain bike route, here's a good link for a description -  http://www.bikepacking.com/routes/great-divide-mountain-bike-route-gdmbr/# I'm thinking in terms of attempting the GD rather than finishing the GD .....

Steamboat Springs

Great day climbing over the Watershed Divide into Steamboat Springs. View at 10k’ of Steamboat Lake. Bike porn Tom, the flowers were popping on the mountainside. Stopped in to Orange Peel Bike Shop for some servicing, these guys are the best. GDMB riders get top priority and reasonable rates. Not all hard work out here, was given a pass to the Mountain Side Hot Springs facility, very nice.  Surprised to run into the gang, I thought we were separating.
