PRESIDENT S I WHY I RIDE Message t is not often that they give me the pen (okay keyboard) and tell me to go write an inspiring message for a new year and a new set of motorcycle and powersport shows. I just put my bike away a few weeks ago and I already miss it. This is not your traditional love story this is boy meets motorcycle and falls in love. My first time on a motorcycle was when I was seven or eight years old (the memory is slipping). Some may think that is too early but I knew I was in love the first time I threw my leg over the saddle and turned the key. It was a love like I had never experienced before when I twisted the throttle and that little 50 cc mini bike purred to life. It was only a few months later that I graduated to a 250 BSA. That motorcycle had strength speed and in retrospect a lot of blue exhaust but I didn t care as I hung on as tight as I could. These were my initial experiences and they have never left my thoughts. I don t ride for the speed nor the freedom and not even because it is healthy and reduces my stress levels. I ride for the absolute love of it that intimate feeling of clean fresh air beautiful sights and scenery unencumbered by glass and walls. Riding gives me a keen sense of living of peace comfort joy and happiness. If this your first time to one of our motorcycle and powersport shows the choices may seem overwhelming but there are many good people here to guide you through what s best for you. Why I ride may not be why you ride. Each person has his her own reasons to ride. However if you have never experienced riding then you have missed something special. Whether off- or on-road whether ATV sideby-side motorcycle or scooter riding offers you something you cannot find anywhere else. Welcome to the 2018 Power Sport Services shows. This is where many rides begin and I want to wish you the best rides of your life this year and for many years to come.

Bruce Thomas n July 25 2012 my wife and I jumped onto our Honda ST1300 and headed west along Hwy 16 to Jasper. Even though this is a ride we d done many times before we had no idea as Edmonton receded in the mirrors how transformative this weekend would be in the way we look at our home province. We were meeting some friends from New Zealand who had shipped their bikes to Vancouver ridden north to Prudhoe Bay on the Beaufort Sea and were now on their way to Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of South America. That is one heck of an adventure if you ve got six months. We didn t have that much time so we were just going to give them a quick tour around a couple of our favourite roads near Jasper and then ride down the Icefields Parkway with them. We took them on the wonderful ride past Medicine Lake to stunning Maligne Lake and then on the even narrower and squigglier (if that isn t a word it should be) road to Miette Hot Springs. The next day we all saddled up and headed south on Hwy 93. We stopped at the Athabasca Falls and Glacier Saskatchewan River Crossing Peyto Lake and Lake Louise. We pulled over at just about every lookout on the side of the road and invariably all we heard from the two couples were endless superlatives about the scenery and the road and the wildlife (something New Zealand is pleasantly short of). Coming from New Zealanders this was indeed high praise and while the Icefields Parkway is a breathtaking experience that we try to ride at least once a year Mary and I rode home happy to have spent time with our friends again and thankful we d had fantastic weather. Over the next few weeks we talked a lot about the reaction our Kiwi friends had to what has been billed as one of the top scenic drives in the world and it is right here in our backyard. We also talked about many of the other roads we have ridden in Alberta ending up at the conclusion that we are extremely spoiled by the wide variety of options we have available. In the intervening years we ve tried to spend as much time as possible away from the four-lane divided highways in search of other gems. There is no way I can lay out a Top 10 list of rides in Alberta there are just too many roads and too many different types of riders and reasons to ride. What I can do is highlight some of our favourite roads the ones that we keep going back to starting in the southwest corner of the province. Hwy 6 is a 48-km rollercoaster from Pincher Creek to Waterton Lakes National Park. With the Rocky Mountains on your (Opposite page) Climbing away from the Bleriot Ferry on Hwy 838. (Top to bottom) Tourists take in the sights at Elbow Falls. The valley plus 11 single-lane wooden-decked bridges make the ride to Wayne very special. Abraham Lake on Hwy 11. Calgary Edmonton 2018 49 SPOILED AND LOVING IT Great riding all over Alberta right and the prairies on your left it s a challenge to concentrate on the road but you will want to it s a terrific ride. The scenery at Waterton is unparalleled but make sure to also take the Akamina Parkway to Cameron Lake whose southern end like Waterton Lake is in the United States. Upon returning to Pincher Creek head west on Hwy 507 where wind turbines and rolling hills are highlights. Be prepared for gusty conditions as you make your way to The Cowboy Trail Hwy 22. The double-deuce runs north for 582 km from a little west of Lundbreck to just north of Mayerthorpe and while it provides a scenic ride on its own it also ties together so many other incredible roads. Hwy 533 branches east off 22 at Chain Lakes Provincial Park and is a great little route to Nanton and its famous candy store and the excellent Bomber Command Museum of Canada. Somewhere along 533 is supposed to be a gravel road that leads to Alberta s Magnetic Hill. I haven t found the road or the hill. Longview is another location along Hwy 22 that you do not want to miss. After getting some beef (or elk bison pork etc.) jerky at the Longview Jerky Shop or the best steak you ll likely ever have at the Longview Steakhouse head west on Hwy 541 which soon becomes Hwy 40 and takes you over 50 MotorcycleShows.ca Highwood Pass (2 206 m) in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park. Note that Canada s highest paved road doesn t open before the middle of June but the wait is worth it as the swirling rock formations are mesmerizing. If you continue along Hwy 22 beyond Longview you ll find that the combination of Hwys 549 and 762 is a popular twisty route and not just for bikes between Millarville and Bragg Creek. On a hot day the short diversion west of Bragg Creek on Hwy 66 to Elbow Falls is worth the trip. Further along Hwy 22 at Cochrane taking Hwy 1A west to Canmore is an awesome alternative to the Trans-Canada. A second spectacular section of Hwy 1A running between Banff and Lake Louise is called The Bow Valley Parkway and you re almost guaranteed to see wildlife. The David Thompson Highway aka Hwy 11 between Rocky Mountain House and Saskatchewan River Crossing on the Icefields Parkway offers terrific scenery including Abraham Lake the reservoir for the Bighorn Dam. Nordegg is a great place to stop and refuel yourself and your bike as The Crossing can be quite expensive. An alternative to Highway 22 between Rocky Mountain House and Drayton Valley is Sunchild Road Highway 620 which contrary to some maps is fully paved from end to end. Hwy 620 crosses the earthen (Opposite page) The view at Maligne Lake is almost as good as the ride to get there. (Clockwise from above) The Fallen Four Memorial in Mayerthorpe is worth a visit. The Prince of Wales Hotel in Waterton Lakes National Park. At the Athabasca Glacier which straddles the boundary between Banff and Jasper National Parks with our Kiwi friends. Nice curves on the road to Miette. Brazeau Dam which powers TransAlta s largest hydroelectric plant in Alberta. To the north of the intersection of Hwys 22 and 43 is Mayerthorpe home of the Fallen Four Memorial Park. To the west of Mayerthorpe you will find Alberta s Blue Ridge Parkway (BRP) Hwy 658. While not as long or spectacular as the BRP that runs through North Carolina and Virginia it is a whole lot closer to home. Either Hwy 32 or Hwy 33 are wonderful routes over the Swan Hills and on to Slave Lake where you ll find the mouth-wateringly unique menu at Alimo s Pizzeria. While Hwy 22 and its offshoots provide a great look at the amazing quality of Alberta s highways and roadways there are other major roads and minor routes around the province that I include among my favourites. The Big Horn Highway is billed as the Scenic Route to Alaska and lives up to its name. From Hinton through Grande Cache and on to Grande Prairie this section of Hwy 40 is a wonderful ride with excellent views of the Rockies and amazing colours if you go in the fall. Carrying on northwards from Grande Prairie Hwy 2 dips spectacularly into the valley and crosses the Peace River on the Dunvegan Suspension Bridge. Hwy 684 adds more beauty to any trip as it flows beside the Peace River to its namesake town. I ve always preferred Hwy 21 over the Queen Elizabeth II as a scenic north-south route. Along the way take a detour and cross on the Bleriot Ferry on Hwy 838. Then follow the Red Deer River through Drumheller to Hwy 10x and its 11 onelane wooden deck bridges over the Rosebud River as you enjoy the ride to Wayne and its historic Rosedeer Hotel. Hwy 851 through Delia is another nice diversion. The 541 km length of Hwy 41 between Bonnyville and Medicine Hat crosses a variety of Alberta s scenic terrain and provides easy access to a great stretch of Hwy 648 between Elk Point and Lafond plus two wonderfully serpentine offshoot sections near Fabyan and Hardisty. Hwy 875 through Rolling Hills and Hays has also provided some good entertainment. A wonderful day trip from Edmonton involves curvy Hwy 37 to Onoway south on Hwy 43 and then west on Hwy 633 which dances west past Lac Ste. Anne and Isle Lake. Return to the city by turning south off the Yellowhead at Seba Beach and taking Sundance Road and Parkland Drive for even more enjoyable curves. Roads in close proximity to Maligne Lake Pigeon Lake and Glennifer Lake (the reservoir behind the Dickson Dam) also provide excellent respite from major highways. Calgary Edmonton 2018 51 SPOILED AND LOVING IT Great riding all over Alberta Not surprisingly there are many more great roads in our province that I am not aware of. Luckily you are in the right place. There are various groups and clubs here at The Motorcycle Show. Join one. You can also sign up for a charity ride and you will discover that most of them want to showcase great area roads. Ask at your favourite bike shop they re riders too Get online and join a forum for people who ride your style brand or model of bike. You will meet people who live nearby. Check websites such as bestbikingroads.com which happens to list 56 roads in Alberta that have been ridden and rated by riders. Once you ve found some great roads share them with other riders. Ride them in both directions and in different seasons because those differences will change your riding experiences. And always remember that no matter what you ride the sheer volume and variety of outstanding roads we have here in Alberta is amazing. From the Rocky Mountains to the Badlands from the southern Prairies to the Boreal Forest up north there are breathtaking roads and scenery all around us. Don t get me wrong if you get a chance to ride in a gorgeous faraway place like New Zealand you will never regret it but hopefully it won t take a return visit from friends to open your eyes to how spoiled we are right here.

We are the Schmidts a family of four with our son and special needs daughter. We use our side-by-side as our access to experience and enjoy the outdoors together and it has become the staple in our family. Like many trail riding is only part of the outdoor experience we seek. Camping away from the hectic day-to-day of our busy lives is our solstice and the downtime offers a chance to recharge. While some may prefer camping in campsites next to each other with supplied water power and sewer our family has always preferred random camping in the backcountry. With our lives we never know when we ll be able to go but we always know there s a place for our family when we do. No reservations required no midnight campsite booking six months in advance just a call from the wife to say Let s go this weekend. We keep everything ready to go and other than the usual frenzy of loading up and fixing those last minute items the anticipation of heading out always overpowers the panic of getting it done. Driving out into Alberta s backcountry mostly on gravel roads built by our resource industry we head out away from urbanization to get back into nature to enjoy the peace and beauty it offers. These are Alberta Public Lands and they are for the public to enjoy and experience responsibly. We have taught our kids to respect nature and this privilege through direct interaction with it. The real conservationists and environmentalists are those who truly experience and interact with it. There s no internet cell service or social media where we go those are the things we leave behind. The experience of finding a spot to set up camp after driving four to five hours is pretty much like Goldilocks and the Three Bears. While we have our favorites there s always that Utopia spot you haven t found before that might be just right. Setting up camp building or rebuilding the firepit having to cut and haul deadfall or making the trip to the creek for water are all parts of the task required for our stay. It s a family affair and everyone does his or her part. It s not work it s the necessities of survival. They say the family that works and plays together stays together. It s worked well for us. Once settled in the planning of trail rides in the upcoming days begins. We are lucky to have the trails we do in Alberta. They are maintained 100 percent by the actions of volunteers and fellow users without provincial funding. Even the regis54 MotorcycleShows.ca (Above) The Schmidt family enjoying a camping trip. tration fees we pay for OHVs just go into general revenue. So with chainsaw and shovel in tow users stop to cut the trees blocking trails or cut in a drain to direct the runoff back on its course just everyone s part in contributing and taking care of what they get to enjoy. There is a vocal minority that believes we are out there destroying the environment. Nothing could be farther from the truth. We are out there because we love nature and want to experience it and preserve our enjoyment of it. Our family will ride 150 to 250 km in a long weekend and experience everything from majestic mountain ranges and the incredible views they offer to finding a quiet pond or lake where we may just sit for a few hours to enjoy. There is tremendous pressure in Alberta from environmental lobbyists and our own Provincial Government to not only remove our access to the many OHV trails in Alberta but also change our whole recreational experience. With pressure to close existing OHV trail access on over 76 percent of our public lands this is the time for everyone to step up. Whether you ride a dirt bike quad side-by-side snowmobile or 4X4 our way of recreation is under serious threat. The volunteers who have spent countless hours and investment to create and maintain these trails need our help for a common goal. They need our voice input and support. I urge those to join your local club or one in any area that you ride. Alberta is a province of diversity and right now our culture is being targeted for exclusion. Let s make sure that doesn t happen. Go to AOHVA.com to learn more and find clubs in your area. Let s keep on riding STREET BORN. TRACK INSPIRED. kawasaki.ca 2018 Canadian Kawasaki Motors Inc.
