...we may be gone some time...

Well, our relaxing is at an end, Calgary is a lovely city, huge gardens, a river and a good pub :) But we're off first thing in the morning to get Charlie's engine oil changed (again, we're racking up the miles!) and hopefully the gearbox oil if they decide they have the right fluid. Fingers crossed this'll ease the problems when the transmission is cold.

THEN we're off to Banff! We're going to get Dan's brakes changed around on his bike as his been over the handlebars twice already (hehe) and then we're planning to make best use of our new book: 'Backcountry biking in the Canadian Rockies' Wahoo! The book also mentions some off road 4x4 tracks, so fingers crossed Charlie'll be getting his wheels properly dirty... finally :)

However, we're not sure how many wifi spots we're going to find in the Rockies and there's a significant lack of KOA's (which is probably a good thing as we'd like to do some 'proper' back country camping) so if you don't hear from us for a while be safe in the knowledge we're just enjoying the Icefields Parkway and Banff and Jasper :) We'll update again with piccies and I'll try and get one of Dan as he parts with his bike... ;)
