It feels great to sleep in until 6:30 this morning. With no sense of urgency to go anywhere, my day involves lots of eating and… not much else, come to think of it.
After breakfast I join some of the others for an 8 a.m. walk to Tim Hortons.
Harold and I manage to catch the last set of the Wimbledon final, then I do a Superstore run for some spinach, carrots and sweet potato. The blueberries, watermelon and chickpeas also look too good to pass up. I’ve really been craving vegetables lately.
Not long after that, the same group of us go for lunch at Lynx’s Grill. Their veggie pizza really hits the spot.
My stash of oatmeal is running low, so Travis and I go for a walk and stock up.
A little later on, David offers to give a lesson to all of us on how to very quickly change a flat tire. Not only is he an accomplished bike racer, but he’s also the mechanic in the group. We’re lucky to have him.
At 6 p.m. the whole crew goes to Earl’s down the street for another meal. We’ll be covering a lot of distance over the next few days. We need all the fuel we can get.
Lynn's Bike Ride 
The book could be titled, “It’s Not About the Eating. Really!”
Who’s got the prize so far for the best “Road Thrill” … most interesting item found along the shoulder?
That would be Elaine. Today she found a stuffed horse.
hey Lynn – I’m pretty dumbstruck on what you are accomplishing…on a BIKE!! I’ve driven these routes a few times (in a CAR!!!) …this is no amateur trek.
I love the photos, and the commentary….and the forthcoming ‘I survived…” t-shirts!
Ride Safe…Carla
Thanks Carla! Glad you’re enjoying it. It seems to be going so fast – I’m trying to soak it up while I can!
Lynn, let us know what day and what campground you will be at in Lake Louise/Banff and we will catch up with you.
Pretty sure it’s Tunnel Mountain Campground in Banff the night of July 10. Not sure which one in Louise. Will keep you posted.
