Our usual path into Edmonton is the excellent Strathcona-Science-Park-to-Rundle-Park-to-Ada-Blvd-etc route. However, sometimes you want a change. So we tried using the little used 34th Ave bridge across the Henday freeway, into Mill Woods.
The bridge is nice and quiet and the route is satisfyingly clever but Mill Woods is not my favorite riding neighborhood. It is quite suburban and drivers stop to give the right of way too much. It's very friendly but it makes me feel like some anomaly.
We returned over the 34th St bridge and Ellerslie Road. That is some pretty country. It started raining and we were wet and cold for quite a few miles. It was hard but I enjoyed it in that masochistic way.
I wasn't enjoying that harsh front fork though. It's really my only complaint with my bike to date (aside from the ugliness).
