Default Visiting Calgary right now

Been here before, first time I flew in in the daytime though. It is cold and snow on the ground, can see the Rocky mountains off in the distance. Will have to do a fly and ride here this summer. Miht pass through on the Hoka Hey race but wont have time to enjoy it. Gott suck living where you cant ride year round though.

Stick around for a couple more days. A chinook is blowing in and all that snow you see will be gone unless it's in some shade.

Going there on Tuesday have to take my "p*ss test for work in Ft Mac, snow should be on it's way out BUT it gets coldest in late Feb and March. riding all year out here, although it has been a bit wet the last week.

Can't imagine what any Florida business would be doing in Calgary unless someone found oil or gas in the swamp.

Funny I always consider Calgary Houston without Guns. More mountains less illegals.

C/P

Hide the white sheets and cancel the cross burnings. The secret's out. Calgary has been exposed as the hate-crime capital of Canada.
Yes, folks, not only has Calgary been confirmed as the most redneck city in the nation, we are three times worse than any other Canadian city when it comes to hate crime. Three times!
This, according to a report Monday from Statistics Canada, which used police reporting statistics to determine that Calgary had 9.1 hate-crime incidents per 100,000 population, compared to a national average of 3.1 per 100,000.
