Day 8 - Calgary

The passport application has been completed with urgent status and should be ready for pick-up tomorrow on Friday September 10.  Without any further obstacles the south-bound cycling should resume the following day.  Tonight the Bro. Bro's are staying with their cousin Conor who is also an awesome MacMillan host.  We went for dinner at Brewster's pub and Thomas has struck off on his own to enjoy a movie.  I spent the day riding my bike about Calgary and the freedom of not towing a trailer made shopping for new tires liberating.  The brand recommended by Al the mechanic at Freewheel, amongst other bike shop aficionados, was Schwalbe.  After burning through the bike tires that came with the original purchase I have made the choice to get the best available tires to aid in the prevention of  flats and more importantly last longer. 
With time to spend in Calgary tomorrow I would like to make a morning visit to the museum.
Thanks to all y'all who are keeping tabs on us :)
