On our way down from Highwood Pass (HWY40) we met a road cyclist who had just got a flat tire. We offered our help and while he fixed his tire we chatted. His name is Nicholas, originally from Quebec but has lived in Canmore for several years now. He said that we should give him a call when we get into town because we may be able to stay with him. He is in the middle of moving to Calgary but he said his landlord may allow us to pitch our tents in the back yard.
In Canmore, we met up with Nicholas and were even able to help him move some of his stuff into storage. Once that was done, he invited us out for a picnic in his camper van. We drove to his favourite spot at Two Jack lake in Banff witha great view of Cascade Mountain. We had a fantastic dinner with tuna salad, baguette, pate and various cheeses. A touring cyclist's dream come true!!!
Cascade Mountain
Nicholas kept rummaging around in his little fridge where he found a stack of chocolate bars and fruit. How about some chocolate fondue with lake view and music in the Canadian Rockies? O yeah!!!! What an amazing evening!!!! Thanks soooo much Nicholas.
Next day, James and I did a thorough bike clean and later on treated ourselves to a beer taster set at the Grizzly Paw Brew Pub. Yummy!!!
