I wish we had landscape and scenery here in Western NY like that, not only is that gorgeous, but what great cycling! Awesome pics. Love the Litespeed BTW.

Beautiful pics. It's a good thing Banff is frigid for most of the year (I believe summer falls on the second Tuesday of July); otherwise, my envy would be unbearable!

Tequila - I love our back yard, don't you ?
If you want flat you could just ride Calgary - Edmonton which is actually downhill for 300 km.

Too bad I can't swing a trip to Highwood this year before the road opens to traffic again.
Sigh....

I'm currently running a compact chainset (50 x 34) with a 12 -25 cassette but will likey switch out the 34 for a 36 sometime in the future as the jump down from 50 is rather severe. I've never found myself in 34x25 even with all of the climbing last weekend.
