This past Tuesday marked the first family outing in a very long time. For the first time in about 5 months, 3 of 5 of my immediate family finally had the chance to spend the day together. My parents and I took the Westfalia out to Banff for the day. While my parents hiked Sulphur Mountain I did a little training ride out towards Johnsons Canyon. I had some intervals to do and completed the first set before reaching my destination. Just as I was turning back towards Banff I noticed that my right crankarm had come almost completely loose. For the next almost 30km back to the nearest bike shop I pedalled almost exclusively with my left leg and had to forgo the last two sets. Once I got the crank fixed in town I raged up Mt Norquay in record time and witnessed some incredible views. Unfortunately I lent my camera to my parents so I cant share those sights here. Later in the day we took a hike up to the upper falls of Johnson Canyon. Below are some of my favorite shots from that wander along the rapids. These shots plus a couple other can be found on Flickr, check out the link at the bottom of the right sidebar. Unfortunately I have almost used up my quota of free uploads to Flickr so the images are limited.

You're a crazy man Per! I always carry an 8mm allen key with me; too many rounded out cranks that have stranded me out in the middle of nowhere. I even tape a full-size 8mm key to the seat post on my commuter bike.
Man, Jon rides with gloves AND 8mm allen keys. Holy boy scout.
