Day 11 – 6/28/09 (Part 1) --- 22 miles (In and around Banff, Alberta)
40 at 7 AM --- 73 at 6:20 PM
Finally, after a 6-year delay, we met Gryphon-Rider (AKA Kevin) and his family at the gondola in Banff. We took the ride to the top and walked to the numerous overlooks. The views were breath-taking. After taking the gondola back down, we met a Harley-riding couple with their “Harley Dog.” Of course, he was running straight pipes … poor dog.
