The highlight of my day was the Chief Isadore Trail ( http://chiefisadoretrail.ca/ )

The day began early with low cloud in Fernie and a fairly quick ride after breakfast at Smitty’s to Elko and a 2nd breakfast of coffee and cherry pie in Jaffray.

The fuel was needed as I left the fast highway for the trail….but what a trail; gently rising switchbacks on smooth crushed gravel, made for all those bikes that are not really mountain bikes. It was 40 km of cycling bliss.


The day ended on the Northstar – a 25 km paved rail trail from Cranbrook to Kimberly. Views as the sun was heading down were stunning.
