The day we fight the wind

Posted bywarkentin592Posted inUncategorized
Day off at Estevan included a pretend safari at the mall. Hotel pool and just taking it easy on a no biking day were the highlights.
Departed shortly after 7 after having the all you can eat breakfast
Got our Saskatchewan license plate.
Amelia joined us for lunch on her way back to Winnipeg. She checked out of the Hotel as late as she could.
Crossing in to Manitoba.
Setting up camp in Pierson, a long day of riding. In total 132 km’s into a wind. This is the most Chantel has done in one day.

Teacher Amelia has been replaced by happy go lucky Chantel. Gone are the words posted here that dance in your head. Now the words written by her dad will fall to the pit of your stomach that make it hard to digest.

Chantel was a good sport and got up shortly after 6. Chantel is not a morning person. She fell in love with the early morning riding very quickly. That put a smile on her Dads face.

Battling a south east wind as we headed east proved to be a test of endurance. Did 70 km’s before stopping for lunch in Oxbow where Amelia joined us.

Pulled into Peirson, Manitoba just before night fall. We felt every km of 132 we completed as we lay down for night.

Now I lay down to sleep…….
