First a neat sunset picture I took on my last bit of the trip... cause everybody just looks at the pictures right!
For those that have been curious whether or not I made it those last 220 kms.. yup! Smooth sailing the last stretch. Sorry or the LATE post, but it was a bit of a world wind of a weekend, unloading a few things and getting a little bit settled.
Actually made it out for a winter mountain bike ride my first full day in the city! Great park about 20 minutes from where I'm staying. Marty (friend I'm staying with till I buy a house) took me out, nice sunny day, not cold. It was quite icy in spots (expected) but studded tires are pretty incredible. A great 12 km ride, good to get some fresh air after spending all that time in the cube.
Then Saturday night was my first night out in Calgary (for those that don't know, I've never actually 'been' to Calgary before.. ever!). Evan and his good friends showed me around. Great time, had some great local and not so local beers. This resulted in a bit slower Sunday (which turned out to be another sunny day!).
So, I'm having a great time so far! I don't start work until April 2nd so have the week to do a bit of shopping (house and clothes, ha) and explore the city. Weather is looking great all week (might be getting a bit spoiled by the weather, I'm sure they have cloudy days sometime).
Thanks to everybody that followed me along my adventure across the country. The blog was really fun and it was great to get the comments along the way.
I'm pretty sure nobody cares what I'm getting up to in Calgary, so this will likely be the last post. I"m not 'really' a blogger, but it was fun.
Cheers!

Thanks, sounds like a great time so far. You'll have to post your new beers, etc. on Twitter... its easier to do a 140 character post!
