Summer Riding in Alberta

[Mack Penner]

Hi people,

I have been on a small eric rohmer kick this year, and when I started watching the tales of the four seasons it occurred to me that it would be fun to document a week of riding in every season. I had the idea in the summer, so first up is my tale of the summer. Nothin' fancy, I just perched my phone on my water bottle like a hundred times during my daily rides in the week from 14-18 August. I was gonna put it to music, but then I thought that if the goal is to document seasonal riding vibes the sounds that the season makes are important! Filmed in southern alberta on my atlantis, my joe, my homer, and finally my quickbeam. 

Vid's here. Hope you find it fun!

Enjoy the rest of August,

Mack

Good stuff Mack. Love to watch vids of someone just riding because they love riding their bikes. There's an over abundance of racer vids and talking head youtuber biker vids already.

Yeah, Mack! 

Lovely video, I especially liked the alley footage, we spend lots of time meandering about alleyways foraging for fruit so that resonated.

Also nice to put a face to a penpal, here's to many more enjoyable miles this year, looking forward to the other seasonal updates :)

Mack,   Nicely done!  Really enjoyable to watch and listen.  (no music, yay!)

Very nice! The simple and enjoyable act of riding a bicycle is captured very well. Not all rides need to be epic with awesome mountain scenery.

Thanks for the kind notes, J and Jared and Andrew and Scott and Randy. Glad you enjoyed watching :)

Great looking rides. Been a while since I explored that part of the world.

For those inclined to follow along, here's my "tale of fall," which in southern alberta is now all but over, snow on the ground and still falling, something like -10 degrees Celsius today. If you're hardcore, you might also consider this semi-absurd overnighter I took my poor brother on at the end of September.

I've updated this series with a tale of winter: https://youtu.be/kJDmtL1OyBk?si=4uUgYg0kLhPasb06

Happy Sunday,

Love the compilation of winter rides! The big Ruthworks rando bag on the last one too.

Fantastic vids (Summer, Autumn, Winter)! Reminds me of riding in Western Montana. Eager to see your spring Vid!

I’m so disappointed that I didn’t discover these videos until today! I’ve been living in southern Alberta for 4 years and I haven’t found much content that captures what it’s like to ride around here. Great videos.

Of Toronto, in Calgary, soon to be Victoria

[Mack Penner]

Thanks, John! And thanks, Ian! I love it here on the prairie although it's hard not to think that a move to Vic will be at least a slight upgrade :)

Up grade is right! My family and I visited Vic last summer, and oh boy, there are some steep grades on that island. Didn't have my bike with me, but the trail system looked fantastic.
