On the Bike with My Guys!

Yesterday Doug rented some bikes for he and the boys and we headed up to Nosehill to play. Lots of overgrown single track up there right now with all the rain Calgary has had this summer. We pedaled through it all and some nice clear single track and some gravel pathways before calling it a day.

Today I took Kyle out for a real mountain ride. We met Becky down at the Powderface parking lot and did Little Powderface/Prairie Link. What a great time. It was fun to ride with my nephew and share the trails with him. We took a few videos from my seat post which I'll tinker with at some point and edit into a little video of our trip. The GoPro is fun for watching what Sante does on the trail! She's in her glory out there running with me and dashing off for a drink in the river every so often. Kyle was a trooper and made it through the 360 metres of climbing without any complaining. He did lay down in the grass a couple times though. ;-) Climbing ain't easy! But this trail has plenty of fun downhill as a reward and we had a great time! Our timing was perfect too ... just as we were riding back into the parking lot the skies opened up for a giant rain and hail dump. We hopped in the car and waited it out for 10 minutes before loading the bikes up and heading into Bragg Creek for muffins and hot drinks before heading back to the city.
