Embracing the wind

My years of cycling experience have taught me not to enjoy the wind too much. Wind can change direction at any time, and quickly become something you hate. Today the wind was a big help to the 123 km’s of cycling.

With a stop at A and W and to Coop for groceries we left at 9:30.

National historic site near the campsite

Our lunch break was right beside the road. We needed to dry out the tent as there is a lot of dew in the morning.

Cycling today reminded me of cycling to Thompson in bush country. Not much to see but a lot of trees.

Everything is very green here. Hay crops and pastures look very good.

So many hills we climbed today

Drayton Valley seems to be built on a hill. Climbed two km’s just before getting to town. We were just wasted and needed supper.

Turkey and gravy tasted so good.
That’s right I passed my personal best for climbing hills today. Bigger hills to come.

It’s time to relax and gather strength for another day.
