Cows Love the Ural

Dairy cows gaze at our Ural
We travelled east along Township Road 422 in Central Alberta with our motorbike and noticed that the cows in one of the pastures raised their head and paid attention to the Ural. In some cases, we were the only vehicle making noise on the road but on more than one occasion, we were among other cars and trucks. 

Their eyes were fixated on the motorcycle.



Weeds on beautiful display
We came to a stop at the intersection of Highway 20 and drove straight across to hitch up with Nesbitt Road. This beauty took us into the town of Rimbey. Along the way, the weeds were on display and showed us their fabulous colour. 

We drove the bike through the town and then headed home on some pretty sloppy roads. The sand is thick on these trails but the Ural seems to love it. Frank keeps her steady and works with her bucking and what seems like Bronco kicking.


Horses gawk at Ural
Afterwards, we glided along on a smooth paved secondary road and were gawked at by a group of horses.

These grazers rarely lift their heads to pull away from their feed. The Ural is worth the effort.


Our trek home was on a long gravel road. We arrived at our destination happier for having explored the area.
