Well I was in and through Alberta super fast, so this will be a pretty basic review.
Total days in Alberta: 6
Days spent cycling: 4.5
Kilometers cycled: ~500
Beers drank: only 8! Missed out on the Calgary craft breweries.
Restaurants featured on "You Gotta Eat Here": 2
Mountains hiked: 1
Nephews met: 1
What worked out really well:
Highway 22 from Lundbreck to Turner Valley. I was warned about the shoulder and trucks but the shoulder was smooth and nice, and trucks not an issue. One rough and narrow section for 5 km heading into Longview.
What didn't work so well:
My rain gear! I am considering investing in a better rain coat and some waterproof socks in Winnipeg after getting drenched a few times in Alberta.
Overall impressions: Good highways, very sparse rest stops, unpredictable weather, and good coffee is difficult to find. Surprisingly good tap water in small towns.
