It's been a long time coming, but we are finally out of the mountains! After leaving Jen and Dave's place, we stopped in at Christine Iversen's home two blocks down the road (a family friend from back home), for a quick chat, a picture, and some delicious cake!
We got out of Canmore and rode a nice tailwind past the Three Sisters in the morning. We have not really had any tailwinds thus far, and it was a treat. We were flying at 35-40km/hr with relative ease with the wind at our backs for about 30km, until the winds changed and once again we were fighting headwinds all the way into Calgary. Hopefully our fortunes change as we go across the Prairies, otherwise it will be miserable.
As we neared Calgary, we were greeted by Brian's father Dave, with a reporter from Global! He asked us some questions and took some shots, and hopefully it will air. We've just been watching the 5pm news, and nothing came up, but hopefully we'll make the 11 o'clock news.
When we got off the highway, we were greeted by Dave and friends with signs and some unbelievably delicious cookies when we arrived at his place, thanks to Nicole. Double chocolate chunk, amazing. The beers that greeted us were very welcome as well.
We're taking a day off tomorrow, and we're finally heading out tonight, downtown Calgary. We'll have a barbeque tommorow evening at Dave's place, and Friday morning we'll be on Q107 with Terry Dimonte, on location at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino 8-9am local time! Hopefully he and "Peppermint" Patti Lorange can come to Dave's tomorrow. I personally grew up listening to them in Montreal, following Terry from station to station.
We don't have any clothes tonight, so we've just gone to a thrift store to find anything to wear. Looking forward to the well-deserved night out tonight and a sleep-in tomorrow!

I am sure you'll all be looking 'fine' in your new clothes!! What happened to the wind always blowing from the west????
How was Cowboys last night? I am sure that it was a late night and that they spoiled you boys!! :O)
D.
Brian's facebook said something about cowboy boots. Don't tease us boys, we need photo proof!
Say hi to Terry!
Oh, oh! Cowboy boots! Did this involve "Shooting the boot?"

Just checked out the pictures.
They really give us an enhanced idea of everything you're experiencing and brought back memories for me of New Zealand as well as western Canada.
Roll on !
