Discussion: 45K?

and you just call it tour de Banff? Where did you go? Wasn't everything burried in snow?

Actually, no. I explained our route and trail conditions here if you are interested:

We were hoping for 60k but we kind of got tired legs. Oh well.
I here that Minnewanka trails are runnable as well.

The snow is finally melting!!

Sounds like you had better conditions than I had in the Elbow Falls area!
