For our Saturday morning work-out inspiration series, here’s two minutes of bike riding in the Selkirk Mountains above Revelstoke, British Columbia. (Yes, I’m encouraging an alternative reality. Childhood memories – 4 hours from my home town. It’s summer. Taking in clean mountain air.) Enjoy!

Breathtaking!! I know the thrill is in the ride, but I would love to stop and just take in that glorious beauty (yes, I’m also enough of a klutz to be able to take this fantasy just-so-far).
Good way to get fit and experience nature too.
Yes, Alex. Accomplish both missions.
I find a serpentine trail such as this irresistible. “Follow me,” it says, “I’ll lead you somewhere magical….”
It is that Lori, magical trail.
No matter what special effects movie makers create, Mother Nature still rules!
It certainly does Susan.
Beautiful scenery.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
It is Francine.
I don’t know if I should quote Emerson – “Of all the vaunted works of art, the master stroke is Nature’s part.” Or say – its a bloody ad!!
But the kind if ad I like. Subaru ads are great. This one is too.
Laughing. It is Frank.
It’s sooooo beautiful there…
It is that Carol.
Neat. Wish i could.
Yes, me too.
Nice. But I’ll stick to hiking…
Two feet firmly planted on ground is good strategy.

OK, bro, it was downright mean to post this when I’m looking at a foot of snow outside my window! I gotta tell you, though, I’m starting to think I need to head to Alberta or BC fast…
Thanks for sharing Todd. This clip was taking in late summer in 2012. I wouldn’t go looking for warmth and sunshine today, you may be deeply disappointed.
Wow. Professional bikers–don’t try this at home!
No! Not in your basement or garage.
If I was only 30 years younger! Wonderful scenery. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, me too!
Now that is a commute to work! Loved it.

David, I was wondering, did I misunderstand your intention of replicating this ride yourself?
Revelstoke has an old family connection to me, so is a place that I consider part of my heritage.
You misunderstood correctly Keith. I prefer watching from the couch. Beautiful country in Revelstoke. Good fishing too….
What a ride paired with great music.
yes, it is that Lorne
