Calgary and Cochrane

We've been off the bikes since arriving at Kim's on Thursday. My bike needs it's 6,000 mile service and the first slot available at BMW Calgary is Tuesday. But this is proving a very enjoyable break from the three and a half weeks on the bike.

Our first (misty) view of the rockies....

On Friday we headed into Calgary for a, much needed, massage. I've had a sports massage before, but this one was executed by a physiotherapist - she could really inflict, I mean give a good massage. I've still got the bruises........ In the evening we settled down at a fire and made spiders dogs (split hot dogs).

Saturday was bright and sunny (again :) so after a fast and furious baseball game we headed to the Calgary Tower.....



Nice views....



The reason that we are looking slightly apprehensive is that we are standing on a glass viewing floor.


You get a bit of a ground rush looking down. Yes, that's Tim's feet and 524 feet below him is the street


We then headed to Banff.....

    I love the glass floor - my kind of fun :) Your tires must be square by now - so the service is definitely a good idea.
    (My odeometer shown 2000 miles today - although undeserved it still felt good ;))
