The day we check into the Hotel

The alarm was set for 5:50am

We didn’t take time to play on the slide. The alarm went off and so did we, all 23 kms to Weyburn for breakfast.

The Main Track Cafe can be credited for filling the energy stores that sustained us through most of the day.

Breakfast was so awesome

The scenery was mostly the same. Trains tumbled over tracks, birds bustled in the breeze and the sun beat down relentlessly.

During snack breaks, chocolate, peanuts, pepperoni sticks and flavoured milk assisted in fuelling our movement. Sunscreen was reapplied and we still got funny tan lines.

We worked so hard to get to Estevan on Sunday so we could have a day off on Monday

With our loads lightened, thanks to Chantel and Amelia’s car, we moved much faster for our last few kms to Estevan. 120 kms were completed today.

Estevan marks the end of Amelia’s participation in this trip. 900 kms done,over half of the total distance for this Buffalo: Jump to the Point expedition and she is passing the helmet.

On Tuesday Chantel will adjust the bike seat on the lapierre to join Gerald for two days of cycling.

Chantel met us on our way to Estevan to take our luggage
This ends Amelia’s portion of the trip
The hotel where we will spend the next two nights

A celebratory supper was consumed at the Black Grasshopper, where the pun filled menu catered to all our desires.

Chantel had a Taco salad
Gerald had a pizza
Amelia had a burger

Lost in feather pillows on Queen sized beds,

Gerald, and Amelia (and Chantel)
