Four wonderously 

Long bicycle rides I have undertaken in winter weather.
🦚🦤🦩🕊️🦨🦡🦥🦡🐁🦫🐀🐉🐾🦔🐦‍🔥🐐🦛🐈🦍🐐🦈🦬🐊🪼🐅🐳🦗🦄🦇🐣
In this terrifically fabulous astonishing existence.


First guys?

Note this.
The first ride I can recall which was perhaps significant ?

1.
I remember once I pedaled my bicycle from the argyle mall in London Ontario Canada all the way to Hyde park road and river side drive in London Ontario Canada and then back again in the year 2000.
It was a pretty bad snow storm .
That brought about two to three feet of snow.
And it was about minus 15.

So I pedaled in horrific weather with a high wind to get there and then back to my residency .


That day.
Around 21 kilometres in total.
Including a store trip.

Because Jeff needed his drive way shovelled ….

2.
In the year 2003.
On February 4th 2003.
From 9 pm til around 4 am
I pedaled to Lucan and then up the Roman line to the donnelly home stead And then back again.

In minus seven degrees weather.
And snow covering most of the landscape.
The whole trip was 78 kilometres…
Just to say I did it.

It was fun.

3.
In 2021.
On January 7th from 9 am TIL 9 pm ?
I pedaled continually around London Ontario Canada in minus twelve degrees weather 
Pedalling everywhere with snow on the ground everywhere til I reached 
101.1 kilometres pedaled.

Just so I could say I did a bicycle ride of over 100 kilometres in fairly cold winter weather.inonly one day.

I did it to see if it could be done.

4.
And last year ?
In December of 2024?

O December 15th?

From 5 pm TIL
About 11:00 pm?
I pedaled my bicycle from Dundas street and Wellington road in London Ontario Canada all the way to ilderton Ontario Canada and then back again because I wanted to see the Christmas house in ilderton Ontario Canada..

There was a bit of snow on the ground.

About three to four inches.

And the weather was chilly.
Fairly cold in fact.
About minus seven with 13 kilometres an hour winds.
The whole trip turned out to be 51 kilometres…
But I did it anyways.
Because I wanted to see the Christmas house in ilderton .

So I did.

And I’ll have to admit.

It blew the Christmas house in national lampoons Christmas vacation away.

It was even better than the present Christmas house in London actually.

Too.

So those are the four significant bike rides I did in winter so far.
I’ve only done four.
Interesting.


Just for the 🐣sake of record…

I wonder if this information astonishes people who read it?🙈

Where they party on bicycles during winter?

Cool.


That sounds interesting.

There is actually a really intense hill off highway three entering Lethbridge Alberta ?

I pedaled down it .

And got my bicycle going 62.2 kilometres an hour.

But anyways.
In regards to Finland ?
The difference between oulu finland and other jurisdictions on earth ?

It’s the fact Finland makes bicycle paths and trails everywhere for people..,

And doesn’t put cars ahead of bikes in that regard.

So me riding a bike despite the fact my area “‘ Canada’” isn’t geared to bicycles year round is a way more impressive feat then doing it in Finland at all.

Because FUNLAND finland is geared to bicycles year round.

Canada is almost impossible to ride a bicycle everywhere.

Yet despite the fact it’s almost totally impossible for a person to pedal a bicycle everywhere incanada?

I can still say I’ve almost pedaled everywhere in Canada on a bicycle.



Wait.

I found something.

Yep.

The computer says highway three.

I remembered that correctly.

Regarding Lethbridge.

Theirs no picture.

But it says this.


AI Overview

The road that features a prominent, steep hill when entering or exiting Lethbridge, Alberta, 

is commonly referred to by locals simply as "

🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

“”””””The Hill". “”””

🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🕊️🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

It is a section of Highway 3 (Crowsnest Trail) 




that crosses the Oldman River valley and coulees. 
The Hill on Highway 3 (Crowsnest Trail)
Location: 


🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

This section is on Highway 3, which is a major divided highway passing east-west through Lethbridge. 




It crosses the deep river valley (known locally as the coulees) just west of the main city area.
Characteristics: 




The city of Lethbridge is situated on the relatively flat prairie, 




but it is split by the deep, steep-sided river valley. Entering the city from either the east or west on Highway 3 requires descending into this valley and then climbing back out.
Driving Considerations: 

While not a "mountain pass" in the traditional sense like those in British Columbia or the Rocky Mountains, the grade is noticeable and requires attention, 



especially in winter. 



Drivers are advised to be mindful of their speed and use lower gears when descending to avoid brake failure.




Scenic Features: 



This area offers a stunning view of the high-level railway bridge (Lethbridge Viaduct), a major local landmark, and the river valley itself.

🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

I can almost hardly believe that hill is open.
It’s a regular road.

It’s steep at the top.



I pedaled to Lethbridge Alberta in august of 2016.

To see my uncle Wilbur.

I think I told you already.

Anyways.

Noticeable?

The grade is noticeable?

And requires attention?

I can hardly believe that hill I pedaled down while entering Lethbridge Alberta is even open?
Ya know?



especially in winter. 
🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩



I’m actually surprised theirs no picture of it.

As far as I know on the internet.

It’s a steep hill at the top.

I got my bicycle going 62.2 kilometres an hour diwn that hill.

Thats fast.

For a bike.

Lucky I didn’t wipe out…


I googled it.
I can’t find a picture…



I can’t find a specific correct picture of the section of road I’m talking about.
I don’t think there is a picture of it on the internet.

So?

If I want to show you the hill?




And 
If I want to get a correct picture?

I’mprobably going to have to go back there to film it myself………..

🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚

I’m sort of surprised there’s no picture of the specific hill
With the steep drop I’m talking about.
You reach it just as your entering Lethbridge.
I’m surprised there’s no picture of it at all.

Because it is a significant drop at the top of the hill.

I got my bike going 62.2 kilometres an hour in what?
Five seconds?
I mean it’s a significant drop.

Or at least it was in 2016.

Maybe it’s not anymore.

Maybe they levelled it out a bit.

If they did?

That wouldn’t surprise me either…

Cool.

I’ll
Google it.

By the way.
Here’s a 
Weird fact.


I don’t even remember if I had a cell phone on the trip accross Alberta .

Weird.


But on my trip to Thunder Bay I did.

It was weird though.

I had a mental block to taking a selfie .

TIL
Dad died.

The day dad died?

I immediately knew how to take a selfie.

On my phone.

What the hell did that mean?

How could I have a mental block to how I’m supposed to take a selfie on a cell phone?
But I did.

It just didn’t register in my brain how to take a selfie until the day dad died.

The day he died?
Almost to the second?
I immediately knew how to take a selfie.

It just was there.

I don’t know what that means
