    Talking Fastest you have done the Calgary/Edmonton Stretch?

    Well I opened the tread earlier about the High Speed Train. However, on a related subject, what is the fastest that you have done the Calgary/Edmonton stretch?

    I wouldn't promote speeding, but it is interesting.

    ^^thats about my fastest - not what I'd do normally and if I do do it, the radar detector is on and I'm extra mindful of the warnings around the smaller towns along the way.

    How do you go from Leduc to Edmonton in an hour and a half? Leduc's only 15 minutes outside of Edmonton.

    Damn man, that sucks, cops here are usually VERY laid back. Just from experiences riding with my friend, he'll pass cops at like 75kph in a 50, and they do nothing. And any time that they actually stop you they just way be careful and let u go

    about 1:50 for me.. back when we had to go up to Edmonton on our day off to "hike" cars down to Calgary for Budget.. There were usually 6-7 cars every hike, so it wasn't bad.

    haven't been to Edmonton on my bike yet..
