Quick update of Day 1 and 2

After a slow first day we've put the hammer down and are now about 100 kms from Banff town in the middle of the wilderness. We had an 11 hour day in the saddle yesterday, so to say we were knackered is an understatement. We were ready to give up 60 kms in and camp beside the road, but a friendly Canadian informed us there was a grizzly bear on the road about a kilometre away. We quickly scrapped the camping by the road idea and legged it 30 more kilometres to the Canyon campsite. Cam's speciality of baked beans and cous cous hit the spot and sent all of us into a food coma that lasted until the morning.

Below are a few pics from the first two days on the trail.
