Just left Calgary this morning and have arrived in Canmore, AB. I guess I can say I'm officially in the mountains.
The folks at Calgary Olympic Park fixed my bike, in my infinite wisdom in selecting bike tools for the trip I chose not to bring a spoke wrench, a few days ago a few of my spokes on my front wheel were getting loose, and before I knew it my wheel was out and causing some problems.
On the topic of what I packed & didn't pack, a few days ago when it was in the high 20's I was ready to send all my polar fleece gear back home on the bus, the last 2 days in Calgary have been cold, wet, and miserable. I hardly had enough warm cloth's for the ride this morning. For the record, I was wearing a toque at the campsite this morning.

I'm a little suprised its so gusty, I guess I was hoping the elevation would be the only thing I had to overcome but it would appear its going to be elevation & wind, bring it on!
