While enjoying our coffee this morning we decided to substantially alter our planned route for the day. Instead of heading north onto the Trans Canada we decided to back track south to Highway 3. There was a heavy snowfall advisory and travel warning for the Lake Loiuse, Banff, and Calgary areas today. The southern route, Highway 3, had an okay forecast and since our routes are never 'written in stone', we headed in that direction. Although it rained heavily most of the day, the driving was okay. It gave us a chance to continue to 're-trace' our 2010 cycling route. Again we 'marvelled' at the climbing that we had done on our bicycles...in fact at times we were 'dismayed' by some of the extended climbs. We are not sure if we would have the abilities to do such climbs today...but then again, we have 'no' intentions of a 'Cross Canada repeat performance'.
We are staying in Creston tonight at the Creston Valley Motel. It is a really nice little place that I would recommend to anyone passing through the area.
PS. It was impossible to take any pictures today since the rain was to say the least never ending!
