Since I started riding, I thought it would be good to ride the Edberg, New Norway, Camrose, Home loop. Saturday was to be one of the last nice days of the year so I thought I would try it...
I drove from home to Hwy 56 and then south to the info pullout. I parked the van and headed South from there. There was a 20-30km wind from the SouthEast, so I started off into wind.
The first hill was not problem.
I turned the corner after the Weir and headed up to Edberg. I had to stop once on the hill to catch my breath. 
Edberg Hill looking West into the Hill.
Once on "top" the riding was fairly easy (and a lot warmer) because I was going with the wind. I stopped at Edberg, and Duhamel to phone home to give Louise an update, and me a break. The last leg through Camrose, and then up 56 to the van was killer. The wind had picked up more and if felt like it was straight into wind. I stopped at the COOP for an oatmeal bar and chocolate milk - then headed home. My legs started to cramp, but I was too close to quite. Finally made it back to the van. About 4 hours total ride - 85km, 1500ft vertical.
Total to date 786km
