We slept in a little this morning because we were both pretty tired and also because we needed to go to the bike shop which didn't open until 10. Unfortunately it was a rainy morning and it looked like it would be that way for most of the day. There was another nice park right across the street from the church that had a really nice bathroom with a sink and flushable toilet, so much better than the vault toilets we have seen so many of. While we were packing up, the nice man we met last night who took Joey to try to find the priest came back over. His name was Otto and he invited us to his house for some coffee if we were interested. A short while later, the priest came over to say hello (one of his parishioners told him we were there). He too was really nice and was glad that we had a nice place to set up our tent behind the church. After we were all packed up, we walked around the corner to Otto's house where we had a cup of hot coffee and some amazing homemade bread (from a Swedish guy in town) with honey. Otto was originally from Germany and immigrated to Canada when he was in his 20s. He shared some amazing travel stories from trips he had been on as well as showed us around his beautiful house. He was a woodworker and it was definitely evident in the wood detail in the trim and molding around his home. We had a great time chatting with Otto and it really made our morning. After saying our goodbyes to Otto, I headed to the laundry mat to do a load of laundry (it has been really sunny and warm out so we were definitely in need of it) and Joe headed to the bike shop to get his new wheel trued. Even though it is a brand new wheel, Joey remembered another wheel that was hand built for his road bike going out of true pretty quick in the beginning and then being fine afterwards, so he didn't think it was a big problem that the wheel went out of true so fast. I met a nice guy in the laundry mat who told me all about the area and about some places we should stop and see in Glacier Park (Canadian, not US)when we go through there. When Joey got back from the bike shop, he said the guy there said that there are a lot of bears there and that we have a good chance of seeing some as we ride through. Once we got our laundry all finished, we headed over to the grocery store to get some food for lunch. Since our original plan was to get cereal and milk for breakfast, we decided we would do that for lunch. We got 2 boxes of chocolate mini-wheat's and milk (milk is really expensive here, well actually, everything is really expensive in CA!). Someone told us that there was a Tim Horton's in town, so we headed that direction to see if we could use the free coffee/latte that we won from Roll Up the Rim that we have been carrying since Michigan (we haven't seen a Tim Horton's in over 3,000 miles). Unfortunately we will have to wait until next April to use it because the promotion is over, which we had a feeling it might be. So, we found a good spot to eat our cereal and then headed out of town. It was still pretty rainy for most of the morning. As we were riding to the next town, I found an Alberta licence plate to add to the collection. Luckily the rain stopped and the sun came out, just as we were climbing a rather large hill (the sun always seems to come out when you are climbing a hill to heat you up more than you already are from climbing). When we made it to the next town, Radium Hot Springs it was already almost 3pm. We stopped at the Visitor Center for the National Park to check on the campgrounds in the park. Unfortunately all of the campgrounds within the first 65 miles or so were still closed for the season, so there would be no where we could stop to make camp. So, being a little disappointed, we decided to wait in Radium and then ride through the park tomorrow (it won't be an easy ride as we have 2 mountain passes to climb over, other wise we would have done it today). Since we had a lot of time to kill, we went to the library, which was pretty tiny, and I uploaded some pictures. We chit chatted with the ladies that worked at the library for quite a while while we waited out another rain storm. Again, we were lucky enough to have the sun come back out. When it got to be dinner time, we found a town park/baseball field where we made some Mac and Cheese for dinner. Just as we were finishing up our meal, a couple people arrived, apparently there was a little league game tonight. So, once we were done eating and had cleaned up, we rode around town to find another place to relax and possibly camp. There was a sub/ice cream restaurant with an overhang and benches/tables that was closed that we ended up sitting at for quite a while. While we were there, a huge group of mountain bikers came off the mountain and chit chatted with us for a quick second before continuing on their ride. By then it had started to rain again. The grocery store was just a quick walk away, so I went to get us some cookies to snack on. The big boxes of Oreo's were not only on sale, but when I got to the register I found out they were buy one get one free, so we had Oreo's up the wazoo (not necessarily a bad thing!). While we were eating some Oreo's, I made some more make shift business cards with our website on them since we were getting low on them. Also while we were sitting there, we saw another touring cyclist riding by so we yelled to him to see where he was going to. His name is Jeff and he is riding from Vancouver, BC to St. Johns, NF. Through his ride he is also working to raise money for water systems in Hatti which we thought was pretty cool. Jeff's very first tour was through Asia; he covered China, Tibet, Nepal, India, Thailand and Cambodia within about 5 and a half months. After chit chatting with him for a little bit, he went to see what the hostel in town was like. We had already looked into it and it wasn't really worth it for 2 people (pretty much the same as if we payed to go to get a hotel room). A little while later, while Joe and I were playing cards, Jeff came back to hang out for a bit. We ended up going to a restaurant/pub just down the road from the place we had been sitting at. Jeff was nice enough to buy us a round of drinks and it was wing night there so we had some wings too. Joe had a couple beers and I had a blueberry vodka with 7up which was really good. It was a lot of fun discussing bicycle touring and learning a little about what it was like touring in Asia. We also learned a little more about Canada that we didn't know (Jeff is from Vancouver). It was a very fun evening, and a nice change of pace to have another touring cyclist to talk with. Just 2 doors down from the restaurant/pub that we ate at was a church where we made camp. Jeff hung out with us for a little while before we parted ways and went to bed. There is a hot springs in town that we found out was very reasonably priced where Jeff is going to take a rest day tomorrow at so we won't get to ride with him at all. We have a mountain pass to climb first thing in the morning so we are hoping to get an early start. We only rode 13.28 miles today because of all the campgrounds still being closed (but I guess it was ok because we got to meet Jeff which wouldn't have happened otherwise).
