Trans Canada Row

Great rowing everyone. We have reached a milestone.<br />We are now into Alberta. I province down and 9 to go. Everyone give yourselves a big pat on the back.<br /><br />We are now passing down Lake Louise, these dudes in the canoe on Lake Louise cannot believe our speed.<br /><br /><img src='http://www.awallpaperforwindows.com/pro ... uise_1.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /><br /><br />Still a long way to go, but we can do it.<br /><br />Jim

71K Mark, was that so you could get across the border and sample an Albertan beer? Impressive I put in 10K this morning, possibly more later. John.

10K today (1250m more with warm-up/cool-down)<br /><br />Darren

[[old] ulu]

A mere 5 k for me today.<br />We are sculling through <a href='http://www.banffalberta.ca' target='_blank'>Banff National Park</a> now dudes. The scenery is beautiful.<br /><img src='http://www.nationalgeographic.com/desti ... 7703_c.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /><br />We should be having a beer at Mike's place in Canmore soon.<br /><br />Jim

[[old] Yukon John]

8 k more.

[[old] Yukon John]

Actually, Zeb (MikefromCanmore) is a bit too young for the beer thing. So I guess that means that I'll have to pick up the slack for him . My brother and sister in law live in Canmore. Grant is a great mountain climbing guide. He took me up that climb that is pictured here. I used to do a lot of climbing when I was in my 20s, but the mountains seemed to have it in for me. This sport is a bit safer, you can't fall too far off of the erg .

Apologies for my absence (not that it held progress up at all).<br /><br />Work and the enticing Albertan sunshine last week kept me off the C2.<br /><br />A shame really as I've missed quite a lot of scenery, especially Yoho and Lake O'Hara.<br /><br />Anyway it appears we're taking Hwy 1 from Lake Louise to Banff, I prefer the 1A if I'm on my bike, but the 1 is quicker.<br /><br />If we stay on Hwy 1 through Calgary we'll row past the top of my street, I'll have to try and row those Km's.<br /><br />Anyway, great progress and I rowed 11 Km today (Oct 18th)<br /><br />

[[old] Yukon John]

Sorry Jim. We've had a busy site today and I should have marked on my last post that I also rowed 8 k this morning for a total of 18k.

[[old] RickMan]

6 k this morning Jim.

[[old] ulu]

Well we have made it to Canmore and the three sisters!<br /><img src='http://people.uleth.ca/~dan.johnson/ima ... ters_r.JPG' border='0' alt='user posted image' /><br /><br />Just over 100 k to Calgary and then on to our longest major section across the prairies. <br /><br />Keep on rowing!<br /><br />Jim
