Today definitely an off day since Lake Louise was only 30 kilometers away. I took my time eating lot’s of the leftover food and repacking everything since I was only taking two bike bags nd leaving my camping gear at the hostel. That way I travel light and pick things up on my way back to Banff. So off I went down Parkway road instead of the trans Canada. I was quickly passed by two women road bikers in uniform. The put on a good pace and I tried to keep them in eye shot. This road is very up and down with limited views as the trees are tall and close to the road. There were tonnes on cyclists coming the other way in all shapes and sizes.

Day 13 – Radium Springs to Castle Junction
I finally got up reasonably early and had breakfast by 8am. I was sorting out my gear when a guest who runs the Hostel at Castle Junction (where the highway I am taking to Alberta meets the Trans Canada highway). We chatted for a quite a while as he is a bit of a cyclist as well and he gave a donation too! I left around 9am and made my way up the steep incline to the Radium Hot Springs. I decided to film myself riding near the big crag the highway goes through and was fairly successful and it was easy to trim the video because I had to run down after and get my camera. Now I understand how tough it is for Survivor Man Les Stroud.
