Manitoba, Canada

Weekend Snapshot

By Ian Smith

The TransCanada Trail through Whiteshell Provincial Park is in fine autumnal form right now. The bugs are quieter and the river otters, lynx, and beavers are all getting ready for winter. We had a beautiful and serene week. Navigating to and from Winnipeg on a variety of bike trails, gravel country roads, and quiet service roads meant a zero-emissions trip.

Hallingdal, Norway

Weekend Snapshot

A lovely Sunday ride in Norway. The combination of old farming traditions and modern hydropower infrastructure enables great gravel riding in Norway. Here is a shot my girlfriend took as I’m coasting into the old summer mountain pasture, Djup.

Bavaria, Germany

Weekend Snapshot

By Paul Marschner

I created this route in my backyard and called it “Vaddamorgana: The Flat Surprise.” It’s a chill weekender that is easily doable for almost any kind of bike, has lots of bathing spots, places to get good food, and not too many climbing in the Bavarian Alps. Basically, it’s everything you want to experience in a late summer weekender with some of your best friends!
