We left Vernon feeling well rested. The weather was warm and sunny, which was so nice after several days in the cold wet weather. You could tell the area is dry from the landscape. There was very few vegetation on the hills. We stopped at a fruit stand and had a quick snack and some... Continue Reading →
Day 103 – Sicamous to Vernon
We woke up to the sound of rain on our tent, but by the time we got out it had stopped temporarily. We used the chance and quickly made breakfast and packed away the tent. As we cycled out of the campground the rain became off and on, but we had our full rain gear... Continue Reading →
Day 102 – Revelstoke to Sicamous
We left the inn feeling well rested and refreshed. The rain had stopped overnight. We knew we had a climb after Revelstoke, so it was tough to get too excited. We found the hill quite tiring. The cold and wet weather, combined with some tough hill climbing was starting to have a real drain on our... Continue Reading →
Day 101 – Glacier National Park to Revelstoke
It had rained quite heavy over night and the outside of our tent was quite wet. We moved everything into the enclosed cooking shelter and got the wood stove going. We had kept our bikes locked up in the shelter so they were bone dry. While we were having breakfast by the wood stove, a... Continue Reading →
Day 95 – Canmore to Lake Louise – Another trip highlight day
We had one of the coldest start to the day so far on the trip. We were really glad we had stayed indoors for the night. It was so cold that even my long-finger full glove that I had bought in MEC at Calgary wasn't enough to keep my fingers warm. We ended up having... Continue Reading →
Day 94 – Calgary to Canmore – 1 degree Celsius yet a trip highlight day
We said good bye to Katie and Ken, and headed out in the cold 1 degree Celsius (a record low for our trip..). It is much colder than 1 degrees when you are biking and creating your own wind! It was cloudy but we had a tail wind which made things a little more tolerable. We... Continue Reading →
Day 93 – 3 months since the start of our trip – well rested and ready to tackle the Rocky Mountains
Time has flown by and today marks the 3 month point since the start of our trip. We took the past week off in and around the Calgary area, and we are heading back on our bikes tomorrow. The weather hasn't been great over the last week, and it doesn't look like it is going... Continue Reading →
Day 87 to 93 – Rest days in Calgary
We've had a wonderful stay in Calgary so far. We had an amazing time at Dave and Tracy's and they fed us so much food it was incredible - we had dinner, breakfast, and lunch before leaving their house! We are now with my sister and will be for the rest of our time in... Continue Reading →
Day 86 – 6000km and into Calgary!
We are in Strathmore, just outside Calgary, inside a cafe getting ready to head out in the cold. Where did summer go in the prairies?? We will be getting into Calgary today, and will be staying with Dave and Tracy tonight. Then we'll be spending about 5 days with my sister and visiting friends in... Continue Reading →
Day 85 – Brooks to Strathmore, cycling with the wind again
We had breakfast in the lovely enclosed cooking shelter at the campground. After cycling for a few hours with the great tail wind, we arrived at the best rest stop we had been to on the entire trip. It was managed by a third party company, and it was sheltered, heated, spotlessly clean and a... Continue Reading →
