been riding for two seasons now and don't know any good rides around town. What are you favorite routes?? I heard something about highway 762 outside bragg creek? Thanks

Hit up Scorpio with a PM, he is in Calgary and seems to know some good places to ride out there.

Check out old banff coach road. I suggest not to go by yourself the first time. I only driven on it and have yet to bring my own ride out there.

I've heard about it too, thanks

Is everyone still riding? It is snowing right now

I just got back from 6 weeks of Vietnam and Thailand

Life is good in southeast asia, I was living like a King overthere....and the women, WOW!

The back road from Old Banff Coach Road to Trans Canada has some nice slow twisties and so is the 762 from Turner Valley to Bragg Creek. But if you have a weekend to kill you should go to Fairmont Hot Spring, I have a cabin 10 min from Fairmont and I ride there every weekends in the summer. Kneedragging twisties and you can test your bikes max speed on the straight away for miles...

I guess my riding season is over, time to bring out the snowboard

I'm sure this is a mute point, but you've checked out www.groundpilots.com right?

I take the #1 pass Banff and turn off on to Radium Hot Spring, I am not sure the road number but this is where you get the best scenary.

I can't believe I just boarded over the weekend and now I am riding all week, I love Calgary's weather it is so fcuked up!
