Day 6 & 7 The Pass

Well after the Seven summits trail we headed to Christine and Troy's.  A relaxing day was spent on Wednesday cleaning bikes, working on forks and relaxing.  A BBQ for dinner and of to bed. Not much to talk about really.
On Thursday Steve, Troy and I headed to Fernie to sample some of the sweet single track.  It was my first time riding in Fernie so I had to do my damdest to stay on Steve's wheel.  First we climbed up a trail called Cemetery Bypass and then sidewinder then we went on Kids Stuff to Slitting Bears and onto deadfall.  Next we headed across the river and rode up Fat Bastard and Mushroomhead  and then down Dem Bones.  Dem Bones was really fun, it had a real good flow and I let go of the brakes for a bit;)
Back to The Pass, pack up and head out.
We drove the Hwy 20 to 541 and then Hwy 40 and we finished up with the Spray Lakes road were we saw a Moose!
This was the first time I had driven these roads, it is a beautiful drive.  There are huge ranchlands, rolling prairie, foot hills, and you get real close to the mountains.
Tomorrow we are going to pre ride the course and enjoy Canmore a bit.
