Hey all… So leaving Calgary ended up being more difficult than anticipated… Not because we’re letting wounds heal (well maybe some of that:), not because our bikes are in repair and not because we’re not ready to go… It’s because we’re at home, already paying rent and sleeping in our own beds… Yes, you guessed it… We got comfortable!

Braden and I agreed before the trip started that when we arrived in Calgary we had to be careful not to get too comfortable so as not to disrupt the overall feel of the trip… I think the problem started with the fact that Calgary is perfectly situated in one of the biggest changes in terrain on our whole trip… So, in essence, Calgary was an end-point of sorts before taking on the rest of the journey…

Anyways, I’m not making any excuses… Truth is we’re using this time to rest, to finalize preparations and planning for the road to Nova Scotia…

We plan to leave tomorrow (Sunday, July 26th) in the morning and though we’ve technically been ready to leave for a few days now, Tomorrow is THE day!

I want to say thanks again for all of you who are supporting us… I don’t think we can make it without you guys…

As for now… I’m going to read… And then maybe later watch The Princess Bride (which I have no shame admitting that it’s my favourite movie)

Until next blog
