VoyleraSpring in #Copenhagen arrives with an explosion of pink. Cycling to see the cherry blossoms completely shifts my view of urban living. People grab their bikes and head outside to catch the fragile season. It is less about touring and more about joining locals as they soak up the returning sun in #Denmark.
Matthew MalthouseWalkies today. 4.8 miles (7.72 km), 2 hours 10 minutes, 2.22 mph (3.57 kmp), 80.14% of Googles estimated speed to walk.

#12 on our #CanadaRivers countdown is the 1,287 km long North Saskatchewan River. Starting as glacier-fed in Banff National Park, it flows through Edmonton into Saskatchewan, joining with the South Saskatchewan River to make up the Saskatchewan River, which drains into Lake Winnipeg. The Saskatchewan River system is the largest shared between the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, with the North Saskatchewan River watershed covering an area of 122,800 km2.
The river acted as a natural boundary between plains Blackfoot of the south and woodland Cree of the north. Archaeologists found evidence of nearly 800 permanent or temporary occupation sites in the Edmonton region alone, dating back hundreds and sometimes thousands of years.
Edmonton's 18,000 km2 North Saskatchewan River valley parks system is the largest system of urban parks in Canada with a network of trails approaching 100 km. Here's the history of its development.
