Well folks, I am now in Alberta. Yes! No more mountain passes, although the last two (Rogers Pass and Kicking Horse) weren’t much of a big deal. The climb is slow going in some areas but it’s worth it for the downhill. I would already be in Calgary if it weren’t for all the flats I got today! Just kidding, but seriously I broke 2 air chamber valves when pumping my tires and then I broke a spoke. I must have spent two hours just working on the bike in the sun today. This morning I spotted some mountain sheep and got an extremely close up look at them. I also saw a black bear just after the summit of Kicking Horse Pass. I snapped a quick picture of him just laying in the grass minding his own business. I am now at a hostel in Lake Louise. I ran into a friend from the University of Ottawa who was just leaving the place. What a small world! Anyhow time is running up on the internet. Talk to ya soon!
