2 Elbows And A Lake Bikepacking Kananaskis Alberta E-Bikepacking
Переглядів 377Місяць тому
The Big Elbow/Little Elbow Loop is a decades old mountain biking classic ride. For mountain bikers, this ride is considered a “big day out” type ride, often being tackled in one day. The entire loop is off-pavement and predominantly on wide 2-track mountain road. The route is best tackled on an MTB or modern bikepacking ATB. It would be possible to use a gravel bike but be aware there are a lot...

The Ultimate E-Bikepacking Machine - Dual Battery Surly Skid Loader With 3x3 Hub Shifting System
Great job! I'm thinking to buy 3X3 Nine gear box. Please can you shear your experience with 3X3 hub? Is it noisy like Kindernay VII?
So far so good. It is definitely noisier than other IGHs I have used/worked on. Gear range is perfect for me. No complaints at all. Flawless operation on this recent overnighter ua-cam.com/video/GapDwIavUP8/v-deo.html I am very interested to see how it performs through our coming winter.
Hey nice vid!!!I ride the closed section fairly often and it would probably be a good idea to bring bear spray I usually see 1 bear a year on avg.Cheers!!!
Indeed. Being bear aware is mentioned in the show notes.
Gorge indeed! 😍
the autumn colors changing is so pretty, what a great view of the milky way you look like you got too, I appreciate your audio/video on these
The covered wagon was really cool, not something you'd expect
ALWAYS the highlight of my ride on 1A!
Oh man, I wish I had known this was happening, I definitely would've gone. Did you finish the loop or go back the way you came?
Just an out and back, easy peasey. Be sure to join our email list for info on upcoming events www.bikebike.ca/newsletter-sign-up-1

Thanks for organizing Sean, it was an awesome intro into bikepacking with a great group of people!
Thanks for coming along! See you soon!
Yum 😋 eat back those calories! 🍿
Well done. Looks it was fun 🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴
Nicely done!
Great video. Thanks for highlighting some good Calgary infrastructure. I'm going to give this a ride.
They don't even have that yellow color available on their website??? Hmmm. Thanks for the video. It's very very expensive. You can get two of their 40L bags for $175 dollors or one of these for $240. That's crazy. Insane actually
Thanks for watching!
@@bikebikerides where did you get a yellow one?? I just think the bag overall isn't a well thought out commuter bag. I think they could have added a water bottle net somewhere and a place for U-Lock. I mean they are bike specific bags. So those two things should have been a no brainer. Cause where you going to carry the water bottle when you convert the pannier bag to a backpack on a hike or something??
@@iancharless The Vario is far and away the best backpack pannier out there. 1) it's the most durable 2) It's the most waterproof--it's built as well or better than my 10 year old Back Rollers 3) It's very comfortable as a backpack. A water bottle holder would be a terrible idea--it just wouldn't hold up to a decade of daily use like the rest of the bag will.
Also the high visibility option one
Dude this was awesome and made me want to do it! Thanks.
Dude! Do it! Let us know how it goes. Are you thinking 2 days or 3 or?
Congratulations brother. Huge accomplishment with the ride and sobriety 🎉.
Thx! Feeling so good in body and mind. Never going back to the drink.
I've done sections of The Greenway route this year. I disliked that major roadways like McKnight 17th Avenue and pagan trail forced me to make massive detours inorder to stay on a bike path
No question improvements are needed and there are still dead zones, especially in the SE.
Thanks Sean, we went yesterday and had a blast, even with so-so weather. We were hoping to do the campground yesterday night, but apparently some scouts had overrun the ACC hut and campground. We got halfway down the BC side and ran into some fellow Calgarians coming back up, who saved us the full haul down and up. Pro tip: don’t waste your time on BC Parks’ reso site, they won’t honour the permit. All worked out, we ended up back by Upper Kananaskis and stayed at the awesome Mount Sarrail Campground -where there was no fire ban! Thanks for the pro tips.
Thanks for the reccos!
Awesome job Sean! Here’s to other future greenway rides! Hopefully will bumb into you again somewhere on the pathways
Thx, friend!
Heckuva rode. Nicely done. Congrats again on your sobriety.
Thank you!
Nicely done on hitting your goal for dong the route.
Thx JD.
Great ride and well done on 2 years!
Thx!
That part from the Bow River by Cranston through Fish Creek and all the way to the top of the hill at Weaselhead is a steady uphill. It's deceiving but it's a butt kicker and significant elevation gain. Good on ya! Congrats on your 2 years. And again, thanks for sharing.
Thx. I knew that section was gonna be decisive and it sure was.
Nice ride! I’ve lived in Strathmore for the last 5 years and regularly do long rides on the Calgary pathway system. Watching this series has been inspiring and got me and my sons out for a 100km last weekend before they go back to College next week. It was their longest ride yet!
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing that. Very happy to hear we've inspired you and your kids.
Haha I always sing On the road again while riding… “the life I love is making music with my friends, and I can’t wait to be on the road again” 😂
Great video! Always makes me wanna get out there and adventure!! stoked to find out about the hostel too, for those cooler fall nights! kick stands are definitely gonna make a comeback, soo convenient!
Kiskstands or Death!
You got this!
I got it!
Woohoo! Awesome job! Excited to see you complete this goal ❤
Yay! Thank you!
My current fav Calgary ride is a NW loop starting at the Edgemont Ravine, through Hidden Valley, across the top to Nose Creek, south to the zoo, west to Montgomery, north up the hill and back to the start.
That would be a fun loop for sure.
Definitely a favourite of mine too!!! The single track you can find throughout fish creek is really fun too!
So true! Exceptional park for riding all kinds of bikes.
Great vid! I want to do this ride now but I’m definitely scared of bears 🐻 😂 I’ll wear some annoying bells and sing badly, that should keep them away.
Hey Tania! You should go. And yes, singing/talking will announce your presence for sure.
heyyy i was just there in early june. beautiful scenery the hike to unnamed falls was amazing too, adventurous for sure
forgot to mention, had FOUR separate bear encounters in two days
lots of bear up there
how long was the hike from the campground to the falls? was it technical?
Good mix of in-cam and sense of place scenery. Thanks for the share :)
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for all the great videos lately!!
My pleasure!
Great ride! 🚵♂️
Thanks! 👍
The cheese lol
Those levers 😍😍😍…is than an RX812 Rear Derailleur paired with a 2X setup?
Yup. Works just fine.
Interesting mix with this build. Looking forward to your impressions of the Smoothie HP. A bike I have considered but nothing online for reviews. I had a Pescadero for a bit with 650x48 tires and fenders. It did not feel lively though quite comfortable. I traded it for a Bassi Bloomfield fixed frame to run 650x42 for commuting. Love the Velo Orange stuff. I have three bikes with their Rando bars, two with their cranks and several sets of fenders. I would have bought their Rando frame but not enough room for 35/38 and fenders. I am a fan of bar ends with 10 speed road builds. One of my goals for this year is a circumnavigation of London, Ontario where I live. Should be about 105km. I have a medical condition so I can ride about 3 hours or 75km+ normally. The first attempt would be a test to determine the route.details. I live in the central area of the city so you need to add 20 km to get to and from the starring point. Great that you are back to riding and improving your health.
Why so knobby tires,wouldnt something faster be more appropriate for these type of rides?
These are the tires that came with the bike when I bought it used. They are very slow for sure. I have a set of Schwalbe Smart Sam tires on order which will be much more appropriate for the mixed terrain riding I'll be doing with this bike.
@@bikebikerides Smart sam is a very fast and very grippy tire but they are highly prone to punctures
Super nice build!
Dang, that turned out really nice
Now I'm waxing nostalgic over my old Ritchie Ultra. I'll never forget that bike and if I ever saw one I'd grab it!
Dude! There was one on Kijiji recently. Go get it. We'll start a retropacking gang!
Super sick build!
Thx!
Prob the only person i heard not liking the paul brakes , i never try what u running on this bike but most ppl really enjoy them, nice build i dig it more inspiration for an bridgestore i received
They felt a lot better by the end of the ride, that's for sure.
Nice build! I just "finished" building out my 1998 Barracuda XC URT frame into a softtail gravel bike. I put on a Carver rigid, steel fork with an axle to crown measurement of 440mm. I am running a set of Paul Components Cross Stop 3's front and rear with a set of Dia-compe moto style levers from 1986, Satori Aero bars (Copy of the Origin8 Strongbow), 1x7 drivetrain, friction shifter, 11-34 cassette, and a 30t chainring.
Very cool. I remember assembling a lot of Barracuda bikes back in the day. Got any big plans for it?
@@bikebikerides Sure do, I have already taken it on several gravel rides. It works very well with the 1 x 7 drivetrain and the rear suspension takes the edge off any rough sections. I am looking at front and rear racks because I plan on using it next year to ride the Katy Trail in Missouri next year.
Right on. Happy Trails!
Hi Steve O!!!
Thanks for the video. It motivated me to do it and I just got back from my overnighter there although I parked at WBC trailhead. Did you use an ebike? I did.
Right on! Did you go alone, or with some friends? I used my "acoustic" bikepacking rig on this outing.
I went solo. Bikepacking is a blast
Congratulations on two years. Best of luck on your training and goals.
All the very best Sean! I did my first greenway 2022 October… Let me know if you need company on the eastern part (b/c it is boring AF! :) )
