Pretrip
| 8/14-2006 - 8/15/2006: While Jasper is really not that far away, it took me 2 days to get there. On 8/14 I flew from Los Angeles to Edmonton, arriving in Edmon around 4 p.m. I then slept over in Edmonton before taking a Greyhound bus into Jasper early next morning. Arriving in Jasper around noon, I took over three hours to get read - i.e. assemble my bike, get fuel, get a new seat rack (sis' didn't fit), and mail some miscellaneous stuffs (extra tools, extra water bottle, sis' seat rack) back home before finally heading to Wapiti camp - some 3 miles south of the town of Jasper. |

- 8/14/2006 (Mon) - Direct Air Canada flight from Los Angeles to Edmonton: the flight to Edmonton was relatively uneventful. The taxi driver in Edmonton warned me about "crazy people on the road" and to be careful on my bike trip. I had a nice walk around the hotel taking in the sight of Edmonton.... (journal)
- 8/15/2006 (Tue) - Greyhound bus ride from Edmonton to Jasper, AB; bike from Jasper to Wapiti campground, 5.17 miles: this is the official biking beginning of the trip - nice to get started and to be on the saddle finally - even though I found I brought way too much stuffs... (journal)
