Day 6: Banff - Huron Fish and Game Conservation Association

Distance: 20 km, yes 20

Snowmageddon!! We climbed out of Golden this morning in the rain and got soaked. Then it started to snow and the shoulders started to get packed with snow and ice. Our bikes and their razor tires just wouldn't move forward. We stopped shortly before seeing this. 

We were froze to a rock for a bit and then piled into the RV to do some sightseeing in Lake Louise. Ya, there's still snow here.

So we aren't going to be able to bike the last 119km leading into Banff, there is just too much snow. Fortuantely we scheduled a light day of biking tomorrow into Calgary (127km) and will make up the 119 tomorrow. We wish we could have gone through the last stretch of mountains but its just too early in the year. We are going to bike down to Okotoks and back tomorrow to make up the distance. It looks like a long day so we will do whatever we don't finish on our rest day Sunday. Here's the change:  

Date	Original distance	New distance
April 18	139 km	20 km
April 19	127 km	246 km

Finishing up the day here in Banff, our first in Alberta. Posting this from a Starbucks and feel uncomfortable in this environment so gotta go.
