Trip Overview The Rumble Alberta Route 7 tour is a scenic and winding trip, starting in Lloydminster, Alberta and finishing up in the lovely and interesting town of Two Hills, Alberta. The tour started with a visit to Revolt Motorsports, hosted by owner Clint Rabb. Clint is a business owner known for running his business with integrity and going above and beyond for his customers. His name is well known in the motorcycle community as the place to go for the best service.
A visit to the Lloydminster Native Friendship Centre showed the true spirit of community and friendship in this city. The center offers a place for community members to come together, offers employment and nutrition training, meals on Wednesdays, and heritage craft classes.
If you’re planning to stay overnight in Lloydminster and get the tour started bright and early, the place to stay is Microtel by Wyndham.
No visit to the city is complete without a selfie at the border survey stakes. They are the world’s largest border markers and represent oil and gas, the Barr Colonists, agriculture and First Nations & Métis. I just like to have fun stepping back and forth from one province to another. Along this tour are some hidden gems that one may not have ever heard of, but that deserve a visit for their history and for the chance to pay respects that those who came before us and forged a life in this small hidden outposts.
