The day of many ups and downs (in the form of rolling hills)

Last night Gerald had booked a taxi and called a bike store owner to ensure he had the correct tire size. This morning, after sleeping in, Gerald travelled to Swift Current with his bike tire while Amelia braided her hair and finished packing up the tent.

A taxi arrived to take Gerald to Swift Current

Grant at Pedal works in Swift Current opened up early to fix Gerald’s bike tire.

After a meal at Empire Restaurant (the same place we had eaten the night before-yes, we develop favourites) we left Gull Lake. It was almost 1pm, but Gerald had two full tires.

After getting back from getting Gerald’s tire fixed, he had a great breakfast at noon

It was so good to get off the Trans Canada Highway. South of Gull Lake there are wonderful views that go on for miles!

We had a blissful day with comfortable temperatures, decent cloud cover and beautiful views. Our eyes swept over the rolling fields as we masterfully geared up and down to accommodate the terrain.

Fields of grain—looks like a great crop!

A buffalo spotting today was a reminder that the trip is called Buffalo: Jump to the Point

93.5kms later we reached Cadillac. We had our dinner at a tavern where we had to order takeout just to eat outside and then speedily set up our tent in the campground nearby.
