YIKES! That photo is huge, but I'm not sure how to fix it. Does anyone know?

Did you post a trip report on your Canadian Rockies tour? I'd love to read it since that's on my list of must-do rides.
2007 Rivendell Glorius/Trico gel with cutout (not made any more apparently)
2005 Specialized Sequoia Comp/Specialized Dolce
2006 Kona Cinder Cone/another Trico gel
1986? Bridgestone mixte/Brooks B72
1991 Bridgestone 300 Xtracycle/Terry Gelissimo

No trip report yet, and I'm not sure if I'll ever have time to write one. It's a great tour, though. There are so many options. You can do hostels/hotels or camp. You do have to bring some food, but there were quite a few places we could have stopped along the way if we wanted. Plus, the views are just as great as everyone says they are. We saw lots of wildlife (including grizzly bears
) too.
Compared to what I normally ride (prairie), there was some serious climbing. I didn't feel like any of the trip reports I read were all that accurate in regards to difficultly, but that could just be my lack of experience showing. Personally, I would not plan to do much more than the 50ish miles a day that we did. I think you get to enjoy the route more that way, anyway.2010 Scott Speedster Limited/Bontrager Inform RL
