Day 92 Revelstoke, BC to Sicamous, BC 72km

The weather was much warmer today as we are out of the higher elevations. We had a nice gentle descent into sicamous. We are travelling on route one which is also known as the transcanada highway. It's a busy road but the scenery is beautiful.

Day 91 Golden, BC to Revelstoke, BC 150km

It was freezing this morning when we woke up. The temperature was around -2c with a thick fog down aswell. I was wearing four layers of clothes when we set off and wasn't long in loosing the feeling in my toes. The fog cleared and the temperature picked up at around midday. We had no choice but to make it to Revelstoke due to the fact that there is no services between Golden and there. We passed through the Canadian Glacier national park and Mt. Revelstoke national park. Once again the scenery was amazing. We also crossed into our final timezone and are now on pacific time.

Day 90 Banff, Alberta to Golden, BC (Snow day)

We woke to about 6 inches of snow this morning in Banff. This meant that cycling was not an option. Kenneth and Michelle offered to drive us away from Banff, so after a trip to Canmore to buy a bike rack we set off. We visited the Johnston canyon which required a 5km hike. Although it was quite cold it was beautiful. We then visited the spectacular Takakkaw falls. Kenneth and Michelle dropped us to Golden and without their help over the past two days we would have been in a bad situation. It is forecast to get as low as -13c in Banff tonight but luckily here in Golden it is only forecast to go to -2c. We are expecting a cold day tomorrow.

Day 87, 88 & 89 (Rest Days)

We decided to rent a car in Banff on Sunday and take a little road trip. We arrived back to snow on Tuesday evening and are staying with Kenneth and Michelle. Weather permitting we will be back cycling tomorrow on our final leg to Vancouver.

Day 86 Radium, BC to Banff, Alberta 135km

Today was very tough. We had two passes and a lot of distance to cover. It was a chilly morning and the descent after the first pass meant that I lost the feeling in my fingers and toes. Luckily the day warmed up nicely after this. We cycled through the Kootenay national park for most of the day. It was a very nice park with lots of great scenery. We made it to banff at around 4pm and are pretty exhausted. Luckily we have a few
days off planned.

The water in the lakes and rivers was so clear.
