2012 Road Trip




Ben Klassen is spearheading a bucket-list-worthy group ride for us this summer to one of the top rated cycling routes in the world.  The ride will be 300 km’s of breathtaking mountains, lakes, glaciers, waterfalls and wildlife between Banff and Jasper.  
Everyone iinvited to come on the adventure; Ben, Bruce, Shaun, Jeff and I have already committed to the trip but the more the merrier.  Details are slowly coming together but it looks something like this…one day to get there, three days of cycling from Banff to Jasper, two days of extra road riding (or mountain biking, white water rafting, hot springs – like I said, details are coming together), then one day to get back home.  We will take turns riding a SAG vehicle to tote our supplies from campsite to campsite.  We’ll leave July 3 or 4 and return July 10 or 11.  How sweet is that!?!  JS

  1. I did this last summer. It was totally worth it! Prepare yourself for intermittent showers and it also gets pretty cold up there. If anyone is at all on the fence about going, make sure you just ignore the doubts and do it!

  3. I'm in in principle but I need to do some arranging at the end to make it work.

  4. one other thing: The public pool in Jasper has showers and a huge hot tub,...feels really good after that much riding and only the locals know about it.
