Anyone seen a breakdown on the Calgary municipal election? How did the parties do, where do we think the council is headed, that sort of thing?

Beautiful day for some mountain biking in the Crowsnest Pass. Luckily the trails I was in were sheltered from the wind.

In Edmonton for Thanksgiving. Went to the river valley for a bike ride, did 25km and passed the 3200km mark. So I'm now 1000km away form my best year ever. Well see if I can get back into the rhythm of regular riding and match or beat my record for a year.

My 16-year-old daughter (off from school because of the teachers' strike) helped me make this video and negotiated the new Taylor Swift LP as compensation for her content creation skills. Which are superb, as you can see! #yyccc

Prime example illustrating problems with building out connected pathway infrastructure. New pathway ends agonizingly close to the pathway built along the Bow Tr connector to Stoney Tr. Fence line is the demarcation between two levels of bureaucracy. Wagers on it ever being completed? #yycbike

One of the things I like about biking vs driving us how easy it is to pull over and make a photo when you see something interesting. #yyc
