I am a proud Gen X'er and I think I am close to the cutoff but boy howdy do I have some classic Boomer thoughts as I wanted to ride the mountain bike but all I could think of was there might be hordes of Millenials on e-bikes completely taking over the trails.
Now we all know that is not true and I myself am surprisingly not that stupid and know better. I think I honestly was just trying to gross myself out and use that as an excuse to avoid the valley at the peak afternoon time. Which yes... chances are it could have been busy.
So it was decided an airport run was in order. Is this my third trip now? It does feel like four but I did have a failed attempt cause of the heat not too long ago.
The ride out and back was quite good and thankfully uneventful in vehicle land. It was pretty much road the entire time with a little gravel thrown in. Very little wind was nice and it was cool but not too bad for mid October.
It's mostly backroads and through Nisku what I ordered up for the day as the less cars the better.
Most of the people passing from behind were very courteous and gave a wide berth and some were complete assholes. I do really hug the sides of the road to limit my exposure.
The ride was pretty top notch and wonder how much better the Moots and trails would have been.
Oh it would have killed this ride. ha ha ha..
