| ReimTime said: That's another reason why I love cycling so much; I ran into wildlife (not literally) every day, and got to see some great scenery. I grew up in North-Central Saskatchewan (La Ronge first, and then northeast of Prince Albert second) and have since been moving back and forth between Saskatoon and Lethbridge. All have some great trails for biking! I quite like biking to school as well; it keeps all that gas money in my gradually deflating wallet haha. *edit* Here is a picture of my late dog Duke (and my hand lol) sitting on the rocky western shore of Lac La Ronge, taking a break from a hike. You can get a vague idea of the scenery you can encouter in Norther Canada through this picture. Will try to find more. |
Looks lovely out there. I had a plan to go cycling accross Canada with my brother in law, but then kids happened :) That's fun too. I take them along in a bicycle carrier. Their favorites are playing along a little beach at the river or watch the trains go under an old bridge in the middle of nowhere where you can see the trains coming from 10-15 minutes away. Pulling that carrier up hills and against the wind is a good workout, feels like I'm flying when I go alone the next day.
This is the scenery along the river (old photo but the view never gets old)
I used to go for a swim in the river. I had a few good spots with some deep water. The current keeps you in position. I also like to swim in the lakes, but should be careful. One time a motorboat passed close to me, didn't see me. We have an inground pool now I swim in daily, if the weather permits, from May until October, as long as the water is above 62 degrees. It's a more comfortable 72 atm.
