Day started out wet, and stayed that way for the next two to three hours. Slight wind, thankfully at our tail so not to bad. Man are our bikes heavy! doesn't bode well for mountains :-) We are both thinking of things we can dump already, ha ha.
We had to ride on the Trans Canada Highway all day today. It was busy (but safe Betty and Barbara) but not bad. The road was really smooth which was nice.
"Up-Dulating" all day today.
Stopped at a roadside "restaurant" at lunchtime for a drink and to us the loo. Very uninspiring. We had Nuttella on bagels for lunch, yummy.
Arrived in Canmore at about 3pm and found a campground. Campground is a bit run down, full of character shall we say. Put tent up in the first sunshine of the day and put out riding gear to dry. Once we were organised we wandered back into town. Had a wander around and as we came out of an amazing photography gallery it started to thunder and rain. So a fast walk back to the campground followed by some dinner cooked in the shelter of a tree.
Sitting enjoying a beer and using somebodies Internet connection!
Both of enjoyed our day and feel good.

Hi guys! I look forward to reading all your trials and tribulations during your trip.
Will you be able to load up pics too?
Keep up the good work!

drizzle drizzel drizzel here. The cranks on our bikes are gathering dust while we eat freshly baked banana cake with oodles of lemony icing...think a van adventure is calling. How are the legs? Happy trails :) A&A&H woof.
