With butterflies in our stomach and bikes attached to our vehicle we headed out to Alberta.
Stopped in Moosomin for night where we met the mayor who was pulling weeds in the public gardens. On behalf of town council he welcomed us to town.
On Monday we made it to Cochrane where we got welcomed with a thunderous ovation and a lightning show.
We stayed in what we thought was a wonderful Airbnb in Cochrane. Today we find out she wants to charge us $280. for an extra cleaning fee. I gracefully declined the charge. See where this goes. A little drama added to our cycling trip.
We are parking our vehicle at Allan and Pat Fuller’s place. We have not seen them for maybe 30 years. Allan went to high school in Winnipegosis. He is truly an inspiration in the ways he works at staying in shape.
Cycling went very well for our first day, of clear skies, comfortable temperatures and favourable winds. Had a clear view of the Rockies in the distance.
Cycled 86.5 km’s and will be sleeping at a campground in Sundre.
