So strangely enough I haven’t been doing any mountain biking this Summer, but I have still been out cycling round town. Right now I’m actually more at ease on the bike than I am sitting or lying down, as the Surly LHT lets my bump hang in a really comfortable spot – and biking is a lot less pressure on my feet than walking, so cycling is all good as far as I’m concerned.
For some reason I hadn’t gotten around to biking the Legacy Trail yet though – it’s the new bike trail between Banff and Canmore, only just completed a month or so ago. Well, completed in the sense that it’s all sealed, but doesn’t actually have any bridges yet – so for the five missing bridges, you have to cycle onto the highway shoulder for a bit. Aside from that, and the slightly annoying gates to open and close near the Banff end, it’s an awesome little trail, and is getting a lot of traffic.
From my work to home it’s about 23km – and feels more like five, the road just flies by.
