Long Weekend

These are the weekends that are worth every minute in Calgary - not a speck of harsh weather all weekend.

Friday was a well attendend BBQ hosted by Claire and Shawn - so fun to see everyone.

We started Saturday early with a ride up highway 93 from Lake Louise to view Peyto Lake and met up with a bunch of the downtown crowd for the ride back and some chit chatting. About 80km all in. Saw some bear jams but no bears.

Sunday was another 80km out on highway 40 from Mt. Kidd campground to Highwood Pass. Beauty day, warm all day. Nice climb of course. Saw some sheep and goats licking the road.

Monday was a Springbank ride with some hill efforts, plus taking in the Tour de Bowness crits (made me miss doing road racing more), plus Eau Claire music in the park and a little jaunt by accident down to Fort Calgary.

BBQ'd each day then sat on the roof patio - more or less a weekend of the good life.

Little bit of packing and prep and off to TransRockies next weekend.
