Cycling the Rotary-Mattamy Greenway, Calgary
During the summer of 2025, we cycled around Calgary on the Rotary/Mattamy Greenway, covering 330 km in 10 stages. This bikeride allowed us to discover parts of the city that we’ve not visited before.
Hiking the Jeju Island Olle Trails, part 2 – South Coast
