I've ridden the Canadian Rockies twice. Absolutely highly recommended.
While in the Banff area, I highly suggest spending a night (and a fortune) at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, or at least plan to stop for brunch there. If you can't afford the Fairmont, there are several very nice, affordable motels along the Bow Valley Parkway between Lake Louise and Banff. Advance reservations are a must.
From Lake Louise, do not miss continuing north on the Icefields Parkway to Jasper and spending an evening in Jasper. A brief stop at the Athabasca Glacier is very nice.
I also recommend riding west from Lake Louise towards Revelstoke, through Canada's Glacier National Park.
Finally, the Kananaskis highway out of Canmore is not be be missed.
