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).

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.

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.
