Cold Riding Days

Wind and Gusts

Cows and Big Horn Rams

I really did try to take a picture. The Big Horn Rams were not pleased and tried to charge. The cows kept trying to get near my motorcycle.


I had to make a stop in Canmore. I had left Calgary with 2 (it showed as 3 when I left and instantly dropped to 2) bars of fuel (out of 6). In the mountains I got a  bit worried as I dropped down to 1 bar. And whilst pulling up to the pump I was on my reserve for about 20km. Supposedly I can go about 70km on my reserve, but...I didn't have a auxillary fuel container to test that out.

Leaving Calgary, it was reported to be 11*C (50*F) and 7*C (45*F) in Canmore. I was also wondering if I could make it out to Banff but some snow clouds in Canmore convinced me to turn back before the storm caught me. There's a storm hitting Calgary tomorrow, those very clouds over Banff/Canmore will be over Calgary in about 12 hours.

On the way back to Calgary, I was able to stop by Gap Lake again to test out some new Cellphone Camera Gear.
