Woke up on a nice couch at about 7:20 this morning. Cereal. Tried brushing my teeth with a camping fold inside itself toothbrush. It sucked. The weight saved by the little toothbrush is not worth the awkwardness of breaking my tooth brushing habit. I always brush the exact same way, hold the brush the exact same way, and I don't think that I can break the habit.
The folks I stayed with left for work at 7:35 and just said, "Cook whatever you want for breakfast and lock the door when you leave." Serious trusting going on here in Canada, ehh. And the folks I stay with tonight said that the door wasn't locked and I could just come in when I get to Canmore. USA has some things to learn from Canada.
Nice ride today, 95 km, relatively flat. Not much wind coming down the trans Canada highway. The Rockies were staring at me the whole time, as if to say, "Good luck carrying all that weight up and over me. You better be strong, or I will make you strong." Arrived in Canmore around 1pm. Met Yves, (my next host) a French guy who rode from Mexico to Chile a couple years ago. Nice guy. Then a nap in some park and now at a coffee shop getting some wifi. In a moment a hike to Grassi Lake and then dinner with my WS (warmshowers.org) hosts at 7pm.

| The Trans Canada Highway, my home for the next 10 days or so. Can´t wait to get up into those Rocky Mtns, something Ann Arbor and Lake Village have lacked. |

| It is much easier to ride 19km than 19 miles, I must be getting stronger already. |
