I've added a few pics from last night's dinner at the Iron Goat. We have our last group ride today with some exceptional weather, so should have some more good stuff later tonight....

That is one rally I sure wanted to attend. I'm glad to hear there were no serious injuries. The wildlife is definitely all over the place in that area. Ride safe and have a great time!

Great pictures. There are some spots that look familiar. I was there in Feb '05. Took a ski trip and loved every minute of it! I'd love to go back in the summer.
You guys have a great time and be safe!

I thought I posted a few photo's last night but today they were nowhere to be found in this thread, the only explanation involves Bud Light and being tired so I'll try again.
Good to see Mike and Lorna on the bike again after their wildlife incident.  Our fearless leader and his better half.  The group that headed out for the Gondola adventure minus my lovely wife who is behind the camera.  Char and I at the top of the Gondola in Banff.  The view from the top, Banff on the left the world famous Banff Springs golf course on the right.

Today was freakin' SPECTACULAR, with warm sunny skies and a ride for the ages. Our group ride took us east toward Calgary before heading south through cattle country, where we stopped for a fantastic lunch at a small family steakhouse. From there we rode back through Kananaskis Country, where as you can see from Chili's pics, we ran into a ton of Rocky Mountain Sheep all over the road! This place is so beautiful it is really hard to describe and pics don't really do it justice...so if you could not or did not make the trip up here....all I can say is....
 ...!!

It was great seeing everyone at the Rally and meeting new friends!
Here are a few pictures from the rally. Will add more to the Rally photobucket account when I get more time. Could that green be any brighter?  Kris with door prizes  Dan and Dave at the Columbia Icefield (it was just a little breezy up there!)  Happy Hour back at the motel  Hammer on a stop on the way up to Mt. Norquay  Rickyboy getting the perfect shot  Everyone ride safe and enjoy the trip home!
