Day 1 Banff AB to Spray Lake AB

I must be mad! I’d come here with a troubling left knee that had kept me unfit. And, if honest to myself, has not improved. Flying over, I’ve acquired a cold that put me in the sack for 39 hrs flat, before getting up to ride into the Canadian High Rockies in 33 C heat laden down with supplies & water.

By the time we reached Spray Lake, I was done!

Why do it? Many reasons – my love of this kind of adventure, my refusal to accept Im no longer able, and, most importantly, not to let Dan down. After all this ride is his, me backing out would have scuppered his chances. Once he is comfortable riding & sleeping in the wild, I’ll have done my part.
