I'm honestly gettnig a little bored with the roads around Calgary.
There are really only two that are good for a quick afternoon jaunt
(the 1A to Canore) and the 762.

As for longer rides, there are a couple:
Highway 40/541 through to longview
The Bow Valley Parkway out to Louise

Anyone know of any other good rides, especially shorter ones that can be done in 2 hours?
Nope, that's about it. I spent a couple summers desperately searching for the same thing. The only other road that's got any curves is Old Banff Coach Road, but it's got a low speed limit and lots of county mounties.

Re: VFR's: I also had a VFR back in the day, a '93, the year they were pearl white. VFR's are suh-weet bikes, highly recommended. I'm currently lusting after the new VFR1200.
