Today is our shortest day of the whole trip, and it happens to be my favourite day because we get to ride the Bow Valley Parkway. If you’ve never been, it’s worth the trip. It’s a 50 km stretch of rolling hills with incredible scenery.
Even the Trans-Canada is picturesque in this region.
I reach Tunnel Mountain Campground shortly after 1, pitch the tent one last time and hop on a shuttle bus to spend the rest of the afternoon wandering around Banff.
Tonight is all about spending one last evening with this truly awesome group of cyclists. Tomorrow we are Calgary bound.
Lynn's Bike Ride 
I never tire of the scenery and wildlife along the Bow Valley Parkway. It has to be one of the nicest stretches of cycling route in the world!
Have a great ride into Calgary tomorrow … I hope the weather gods smile on you with a tailwind, especially up the hill out of Cochrane. You deserve it after the last couple of days!
