Training ride (July 1st/2021

Sleeping behind the hockey rink in McGregor
Chicken and ribs at Bill’s sticky fingers in Portage. My 4 pm supper.
Took a one and a half hour break at Portage Island.
Leaving home shortly after 7 am

This two day trip was planned as a training ride for my bigger trip for later this summer. On August 1st I plan to cycle to Thompson from Winnipeg.

Tonight I am in McGregor for night. I did 139 km’s today. When you consider the heat is great mileage. It got to 31 and never cooled down much in the evening.

Plan for Friday is to leave early and try to get to Austin for breakfast at 7. It is about a 45 minute ride. I need to beat the heat of the day. Hope to have an early lunch in Carberry and get to Neepawa a couple of hours later. Cheryl will meet me in Neepawa.

I met two cyclists today. One going from Vancouver to Halifax, the other going from Toronto to the BC border. I wish my trip could be longer also.
