Well arrived in Alberta late last night and stayed in Medicine Hat. Got up early in the morning and did a quick run on the TransCanada to Calgary. I wanted to get the bike into Blackfoot BMW Motorrad to get the front tire changed and have a quick check over.
It took a bit longer than expected at Blackfoot...and little more money than expected:-(
It is amazing that two tires for a motorbike are almost as much as 4 tires for a car!!!
So it ended up being a bit of a rest day. Once the bike was ready and reloaded, I left Calgary in great weather and headed for the mountains with a destination of Banff National Park.
The park is beautiful. I have a very nice campsite at Tunnel Mountain. I setup camp and made dinner (freeze dried chicken gumbo that was pretty good) and then took a little ride into town to catch up on email.
The plan tomorrow is to slow down the pace a bit. No 1000km days. Plan on heading up to Jasper and see where it goes from there.
