Well the journey has begun. While I was looking at Lois’s Facebook I notice someone had posted he was leaving to do the GDMBR and would be in Calgary on Monday night the same as I.  I messaged him and it turns out we are connecting in Dallas on the same flight. His name is Ellie, he is from Peru. He left Peru yesterday morning at 9:00am.  He’s had a long flight. Made it to Calgary with the bike. Don’t know what the contents of the box looks like because it had been opened and resealed. Off to the hotel. Will take a shuttle to Banff tomorrow.
