Cycling: Plummer's Road, Millarville and Priddis loops

The weather station was reading 21 C at lunch time today, and so we headed out for our second ride of the year, just south of Calgary. There are a couple of nice loops that we've found out that way; one is 24 km and the second is 36 km. Neither of us are cycling well after a long winter lay-off, but the roads are good and the scenery is spectacular, so it was a good run. The roads are very straight and the surfaces excellent - I've done nothing in the UK to compare really - they make highways differently out here. One thing that is sobering is the lack of pubs...I'd have loved a pint at the end of my ride. I did notice a nice looking bistro place in Priddis (where for some reason all the kids ride on the left), that might be factored into a ride soon, though. Unfortunately the weather is not really playing: today I read that Professor Falls has collapsed (I had a plan for a sneaky last climb of the season in May), but the forecast for Thursday is a high of 0 C. That's just wrong.....
