Majestic SouthWest Edmonton


It was a weird one after work as I wanted to take it easy after another dark and dirty day after little sleep for some dumb fuckin reason. I started at Heritage Valley LRT station as I assumed there were lots of wide sidewalk trails parallel to the road and I was right.

That's what one thing that is nice about new neighbourhoods other than being surrounded by ugly congested houses. There was no shortage of overbuilding everywhere I went and in some new neighbourhoods there are houses that are mini front garage houses. It's weird, they look like doll houses and are quite tall with no surprises by how close they were to each other. These developers are criminals. 

I did remember ironically there was a big fire in the area and I hunted it down and the damage was quite incredible. An entire condominium block or two with natural heavy damage to everything around it was quite the site. Houses across the street had there siding melted so the heat would have been insane. I think they were under construction but some in area took a heavy hit looked occupied. 

Bummer. 

The ride was kinda crappy. I was overtired and it gave the ride a gross eerie like feel to it. I could tell you what streets I went down on this journey but really... who cares. 

The ride sounded like a bummer but when I put my bike in the back of the car I said "Hellz yea bikes." So it wasn't that bad of a ride anyways despite the traffic and lack of scenery. 



To Fat Bike or Not to Fatbike

  It was a fine ride after our first snow fall of the season and I chose the Moots thinking we need more snow to warrant riding a fat bike. ...
