Paul, sorry forgot to address your last question. The photo of the Atlantis in the trees is in the Assiniboine Forest in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It's among the largest urban forests in the world I recently learned. It's a large protected forest area with a few walking paths and many trails winding through it. In summer, it can be quite boggy. Riding isn't the greatest. In winter though, all the trails are packed down from cyclists, deer, walkers, etc. It's amazing to ride at this time of year.
Not quite so much today though... rode in to work with a -42C windchill.
