Stag de Joss

18 of Matt's buddies (and dad) were rounded up this weekend for some riding, eating, drinking, and a good 'ol roast of Mr. Joss himself at the Post Hotel in Louise.  The drive out was lovely, especially some twisty turny on the 1A from Banff out to Lake Louise.

We kicked it off with a hundred kilometer out and back on the Icefield Parkway, beautiful weather day with snow still everywhere that made it an incomparable day of cycling.  Lot's of good engines out there, including Mr. Getting Married and the ever potent at aerobic activities Niclas Kristofferson.

Beers in some Adriondack chairs on the lawn after in the sunshine and tranquility of the Rockies was not a bad way to end the ride.

Dinners at the Post are uniformly awesome in my experience, and a table full of people with stories to tell provided the entertainment.  Only side note is listening to a group of people where the forgone topic is a guy about to get married to the Tori equivalent (similar age, same athleticism, level of aspiration and intellect, etc.) was interesting on many levels.

Sunday was a more sedate right around the Lake Louise area given Saturday's curfew being blown, but a good day riding even if it was a bit shorter.

Ps.  The M Coupe on the highway is a crime... it feels like driving through one big school zone having to hold off the throttle.  All I can say is the Saris rack holds bikes on well at "any" speed.
