Our driver Rob picked us up from our hotel on time and drove us back to the shop. We had a great laugh with Rob and Coleen while dressing in leathers for the bike tour. We were given "hot vests" that plugged into the bike and kept us warm. We had chosen a three hour trip and told Rob we wanted to visit Mt Edith Cavell (which we had seen but not previously visited) and we left the remaining time for Rob to take us to recommend places we would not have been before and were off the tourist track. We're 70 and 66 years old and had never ridden on a Harley Davidson before, but we never felt anything but safe . One of us got into the sidecar and the other sat behind the driver. We could swap places as and when we wished. What a thrill! About 2km on the road up Mt Edith Cavell we were confronted by a huge Bull Elk who had no intention of letting us pass him. Rob took command and eventually the Elk disappeared into the forest. Rob found a stream running from a glacier and we drank the purest and most delicious water we have ever tasted. We moved on and visited various lakes and photo spots. All too soon it was time to return to the shop. Rob was a knowledgeable guide and a really great guy as well. We laughed a lot! We loved our holiday in the Canadian Rockies and there were so many highlights; this tour most certainly was one of the best. We would definitely recommend the tour to our friends without any hesitation. Thanks Rob and Coleen for a truly exhilarating and memorable day.
