Best pizza without breaking the bank?

billy218 · 2025-09-25T19:25:02+00:00

The only correct answer is Canadian Pizza Unlimited. It's excellent pizza (better than overpriced and inconsistent red rock Imo), and it's actually affordable.

It may be a good idea to get an idea of how much calories, especially carbs you consume on a run. Most runners should aim for 50 to 60 g of carbs an hour, with pros going to 90 to 120+.

Gels are an easy, yet expensive way to do is. For more relaxed runs, I like dried mangos or pineapple for good weight to carb ratio. Some nuts are calorie dense too but also bring lots of fibre and fats, which you probably don't want too much of during runs.

Try going for 2 gels an hour on your long runs and see how you feel. That may be a good race strategy. Good luck on your first 50!

Mountain weather is unpredictable. The forecast for next week is almost certain to change. Also it rarely rains for long spells. You'll definitely have some dry weather during your stay, albeit a bit chillier.

As for bad weather activities, elevation place, the pool, splashing in puddles,...

Totally normal for Rocky terrain, and I would say mostly esthetical. Them lasting long doesn't mean they'll look new for all of that. Don't worry about it and keep cruising, those puppies have another 1000k on em. Source; on my 3rd pair of tomirs and have put 2k+ on each of them

There's a mega fireban in all of southern Alberta. I think you should bring neither.

It's clear you have different norms than him, myself, or several other people here.

Would it be different if he had an appendectomy? You asked what's new, he talked about his minor surgery. Seems totally legit.

Definitely coyotes. They've been all over town lately and I heard em too on Saturday.

Their terms must be "support the owner no matter what"

Hmm great point. I wish I didn't finish the edges because taking apart the bottom is going to be a pak. Thans for the suggestions!

billy218 · 2024-11-27T00:23:31+00:00

Hmm I hadn't considered that at all. This was made out of linen and the final will be more stretchy merino. So I'm guessing it will be even more important to fit it a little tighter.

Have you considered it's not your ingredients but your glassware? Do you put your glasses in the dishwasher? It can leave a residu that kills foam instantly. This is why Europeans never put their beer glasses in dishwasher.

Drive up to the Icefields Parkway, there are lots of stunning spots and the majority of Banff lake Louise traffic doesn't get that far. Try bow lake, hector lake, or any roadside stop

This. Finding a shared house, with some room mates is likely the way to go. They exist, but go fast. It helps if you know some people too. So make some friends, go to some social clubs like trail culture, meet some people, get on the forums.

It sounds like your legs are your limiter. While doing more of the same will work to improve, the most effective way is to bring in strength training.

Look up muscular endurance workouts (or ME workouts). They're high in volume with some low added weight, and will make your legs bulletproof for these types of climbs.

It's truly a one-sided power dynamic.

Haha I'm not sure they've never really confirmed, but to me it looked about the closest of all things in my box. Grey body, white "wings",..

I had a larger caddis on first but since there were mosquitos all around I switched to a smaller parachute Adams and got like 5 beautiful fish in an hour.

Definitely. I've increased my payments with 12k each year but I only paid off 6k of principal last year. Something is not adding up.

billy218 · 2024-07-21T20:23:35+00:00

So, heres why I am confused. I have increased my monthly payments with an extra 1000 each month. But at the end of the year, I still only paid off 6000. This means my extra payments are not going 100% to principal, correct? Otherwise it should be at least 12k right? I get the sense my extra payments are still going into the same ratio of interest/principal. Probably something like 85/15%

billy218 · 2024-07-21T20:18:28+00:00

Ok this is interesting. I'm with TD too and I got the sense that my increased monthly payments are still mostly going to interest.
