Day 10

The ride out of Banff was awesome, rolling hills with a downhill bias which amde for some brisk riding. Unfortunately my legs were starting to suffer a bit from keeping up with Robin over the past few days, and I was lagging behind. So after an hour, we said our goodbyes and parted ways. It was really cool to get to see the Rockies fading in the the distance behind me, and the route was significantly flatter compared to what I had been doing. Looking forward to the full on flatness that I should find on the other side of Calgary! The ride in to Calgary was nice and smooth with wide shoulders, but as I approached the urban sprawl became worrisome. How do you navigate? Thankfully the friend I was staying with offered to come out and grab me at the edge of town, so I didn't have to find out. Planning on taking a rest day tomorrow to have a visit and let my legs recover.
