MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
going to Canada for 2 weeks this summer. First week in Canmore, then 2 days in Calgary (sister getting married there).
My problem is, then what? MrsH doesn't ride much, so anything bike related other than gentle pootles are off limits. Will be flying in & out of Calgary so I don't particularly want to see Toronto or Vancouver...
all suggestions welcome
Honestly it's a beautiful area with hundreds of miles of trails for walking, skiing, climbing. Fantastic rivers for canoeing. I used to guide on the Bow, North Sask and Kootenay rivers and lead 5 day trail expeditions in the area. Spent a lot of time off in Canmore. Try the Drake ( http://www.thedrakepub.com ) used to have good live music of an evening and a good atmoshpere. Don't ask what the sign above the bar says (it reads 'IYAMWTMTYOMAD'). Beware bears if you hit the trails. Seek advice from the RCMP/Wardens first and you'll be fine.
