Jasper, AB –> Honeymoon Lake, AB
Distance: 54.4km
Average: 18.1km/h
Max: 52.6km/h
HIGHLIGHTS:
Coffee and Nutella pocket from (ridiculously popular!) Bear paw cafe.
Amazing riding weather and scenery.
Walking the trails around Athabasca falls – I found the signs for portage aka this-is-your-last-chance-to-get-out-of-the-river-alive-do-it-here-do-it-now. I enjoyed my lunch watching the frothing Athabasca, which eventually runs to Inuvik on the Arctic ocean.
Swimming in Honeymoon Lake with sun kissed mountains all around, and nobody else in sight (it took me a long time to warm up again, so I guess it was cold, but it was so refreshing!)
Lowlights:
People in the campsite next door expanding into my space in a way I’m sure they would not have even considered doing if I had a vehicle that took up more room.
My bum is sore – clearly not used to being in the saddle again. I’m very glad to have planned a short ride for today!

Does the appearance of Day 4 after Day 5 mean that you are riding backwards?

It means I was having a bit of trouble uploading posts on free (aka periodically timing out) wifi in Lake Louise! Not sure how to fix it. Certainly, doing this from a phone rather than a computer makes for much less finessing of the blog!
