Icefield Parkway, down through Kananaskis and over Highwood Pass then up to Calgary. I also want to do some other recreation rides with it (still debating which bike to take for an overnight trip from the Quad Cities to Dubuque and back next month).
They were both drive side spokes. I carry my gear plus part of my wife's and I'm also a big guy (by biking standards) and tend to grind out some hills with leg power that I should be spinning up. Then I hear many say that once some go, they all go because the opposite spokes have now had extra stress.
