Day 4 - Lake Louise

Questions? I'm sure there are many. Thomas and I arrived mid-afternoon in Lake Louise after another great day of riding. Cycling is truly the best way to travel by land. On day one we stayed at Honeymoon lake and it was very bromantic. Roy, our dad, delivered a derailleur hanger after I foolishly broke the original by levering the bob trailer on it at camp. Our parents love us so much he came bearing cookies and beer from home! On day two we tackled the Tangle falls hill and camped at Wilcox Creek campground. I turned from cleaning my bike at the campsite when asked "How far are you going?". To my surprise it was Peter Lemieux! Mr. Icewalk himself! I will never forget being an elementary school student on a field trip with him. If you haven't taken the tour yet check out his availability @ icewalks.com. He was accompanied by his wife Nancy and son David. Peter and Nancy had both toured on bicycle extensively and were quick to offer their home in Canmore for us to crash in. Thank you Lemieuxs. On day three we arrived at Waterfowl Lake campground where we crossed paths with Sam and his wife Heather. They had just arrived to visit and camp with Sam's in-laws. What a nice coincidence it was to run into them again after having said goodbye. Canmore and our biggest day of riding all tomorrow!
