Around my Rockies 2009
A cycling route starting in Chestermere, Alberta, Canada.
Overview
About this route
Three years ago I tried to bike around the southern range of 'my Rockies' (the closest part to Calgary, those peaks that you can see from Calgary). It did not work. So here is my second attempt on the same route. Successful this time. I biked almost exactly 800km in 6 days. With the Pure Beauty around me: Calgary - Crowsnest Pass - Sparwood - Fernie - Fort Steele - Invermere - Radium Hot Springs - Banff - Canmore - Calgary. I enjoyed every meter of this trip. And I will NEVER forget the thumb up someone gave me thru the window of a passing car when I was down, cholering and bitching on a rain and a head wind and a 150+ km day...
