We spent the rest of the day roaming the town and visited the Banff Springs Hotel to find the start for tomorrow. The people in Banff are incredible friendly. For example today Uncle Jeff and I went to purchase stamps from the post office and in an attempt to be frivolous about our weight on the bikes we tried to make $3.67 in coins. Well we didn't have enough and the postman let us have it for less and took American quarters. We begin our journey tomorrow, 70.4 miles to Tonberry Cabin hopefully before the bears get to hungry. The bikes are ready we will get plenty of rest and the weather is absolutely perfect. Oh yah tomorrow is Canada Day. So happy Canada Day! I wonder if we will see any fireworks from the cabin?

Ultralight bikepacking is the advanced technique of carrying minimal amount of gear necessary for a trip. Typical ultralight rigs have a dryweight (weight of bike and gear without food or water) of lessthan 50lbs. Traveling with less weight makes the bike more rideable because one is carrying less weight which means less work done by the rider on the mountains and on the trail.
