Day 7 - Monday, July 6/2009
Starting Location: Cochrane, AB
Ending Location: Cochrane, AB
Distance Travelled: no travel - sight-seeing in Calgary, AB
Not a bike travel day as we drove to Calgary Saw Native dances, a roedo and a great evening show that included the winners of "So you think you can dance, Canada" and some other big name singers. Saw an excellent demonstration of bike jumping with the stunt men doing flips, leaving the bike and doing handstands in mid air, all while jumping over araamps, cars, etc. They were fantastic.
At the rodeo, saw all types of rodeo events. It rained so hard, that the corral was absolutely floating. The announcer named it Lake Calgary, but the rodeo proceeded despite the tremendous downpour. We were sitting under an overhang so did not get wet. Got very chilly. There is a huge carnival along side the stampede and fireworks to end the night.
Tommorrow we plan to visit the city side of Calgary and then stay at a place an hour south of Calgary.
Gas:
No gas day - Hooray
