Gap Lake is out along the 1A from Canmore, towards Calgary. As far as bike rides in the Rocky Mountains go, it’s not super-scenic. Sure, there are pretty mountains hanging out in the background, but you’re cycling past cement factories, and swampy looking areas, and concrete things dumped next to the trainline. There were no dead bodies or shopping trolleys though, so I guess it’s better than Melbourne. And there was a herd of mountain sheep – although they were between coats, so didn’t really count as adding much to the scenery, as they looked as if they were about to die of sheep-leprosy.
