Weekend ride pics

bross · 05-23-2005

Well we had great plans to ride the "Going to the Sun" highway in Glacier National Park, Montana, until the night before we left we realized it probably wouldn't be open. Figured, oh well, it's a good ride anyway so headed south. The highway was closed so we just went to Waterton Lakes National Park, the Canadian part of Glacier National Park. Good ride, saw some country we haven't before, *very* windy. I guess in the spring as the prairies warm up, the hot air rises and pulls the cold air down out of the mountains. We headed south on Hwy 2, then west and back north on Hwy 22, all in Alberta. Came home this morning (Monday) in driving rain for 2 hours with the temps hovering around 5 celcius but at least it didn't snow on us. Anyway, here's some pics:

Thanks, the pegs are from Custom World Intl

I like them cause they follow the lines of the brake and the exhaust. I can take a picture from the side if you want to see what they look like.

They are perfect for me, my legs are almost straight, I'm 6'. They have 4 adjustments and I'm on the last one, so you could shorten them up if needed. I find I don't really use them very often. I really like the riding position of my meanie and can go a long time without needing a strecth etc.

And it's a shame *I* can't live there! I love Alberta. Only been there twice, but both trips were really wonderful.
