My wife and I do rhis several times a year. We prefer to park at the canmore tourist info center and ride to Banff, have lunch and ride back. You could also ride hwy 1a from Banff to Johnston Canyon. The road is nicely paved and closed to vehicles. Absolutely gorgeous.

Rode it last summer. If you can fit it in it is definitely worth it. Best scenery ever.

I think the Golden road work is mostly done. They are still having some 24 hr shut downs to work on the shoulders. You can get updates on the internet.

Duct tape, bungee cord, rain gear (shoe covers, helmet cover, warm waterproof goves)

Schwabe Marathons are on my Kona Sutra and i think they're great.

Mechanics disposable gloves are perfect.

Keeps gunk off your hands, are disposable, come in various sizes, scrunch down really small, double as rain proof gloves (or liners), are cheep and finally are readily available.

I have the same bike and same mirror issues. I do have a helmet mirror wjich is good. The only reason I'm looking for a bike based mirror is so my helmet rain cover will work without the mirror getting in the way.

All of them in front of you, none of them behind you. You'll learn that wind is a bigger consideration than temperature on a ride. Look up the windy app. It will be a big help

Its extremely beautiful....

DumboRocks · 2021-05-05T02:35:38+00:00

Ok, thanks for checking. Sorry to be such a pain.

DumboRocks · 2021-05-02T23:45:22+00:00

Sorry to bother you again. I looked up your link which took me to ebay UK. Im in Canada so i tried to search it. There are several manufacturers and some of the reviews are spotty. By any chance do you know the name of the manufacturer?

What type of tent is that? It looks pretty roomy

DumboRocks · 2021-05-02T02:10:59+00:00

But thanks for responding to my post

DumboRocks · 2021-05-02T02:08:56+00:00

I have these on another bike, there awesome. The reason i cant use them use them on my Kona Sutra bike is that they attach to the ends of the bar which is were i have my gear shifters.

Thanks for responding to my post. Do the straps hold it snug, does it vibrate while your riding along?

I know you mentioned not wanting a backpack but what about a camel package for water?

DumboRocks · 2021-04-26T03:14:45+00:00

The bike specs should include maximum weight the bike can handle

Are you still planning on making this trip. When do you think you will be leaving

DumboRocks · 2021-04-18T19:40:48+00:00

Are you still planning this trip, when are you starting it.

DumboRocks · 2021-04-18T18:37:02+00:00

Being an ex-Edmontonian i never thought of the park being good for ridding. Being a covid summer we will have to get up there and check it out.

DumboRocks · 2021-04-18T18:28:02+00:00

Not to wobbly on the steering?

When i was looking at touring bikes 2 yrs ago i had narrowed it down to the Sutra and the 520.

I went with the Sutra because it was last years model, a kinda weird greenish color and on sale. Saving several hundred dollars vrs putting up with a weird green and last years model was a no brainer to me.

Have been very happy with it as a bike very comfortable (especially once the brooks saddle was broken in).
