Day 13 - Calgary, Alberta, Canada to Banff, Alberta, Canada. 82 Miles Ridden Today, Total Miles From Indianapolis - 2,539.



This morning the group bid farewell to the city of Calgary.  The girls packed the luggage into the rental cars while the guys retrieved and put their gear onto the bikes.

The guys led the way out of the city.  The ladies followed in the vehicles.

The group made the 82 mile trip to Banff.  We had lunch at an Irish Pub, did a little browsing around town and headed on to the Fairmont Hotel.
