145 kilometers, time is not accurate.
I was feeling pretty ambitious after yesterdays ride but I was quickly put in me place by the wind. Though not strong it was enough too keep me around 20km/hr in the beginning. I really didn’t have breakfast so I pulled in Elkhorn for the classic bacon and eggs with hash browns. The owner is saving up money and plans to sell the place and move to Cuba. Not a bad retirement plan if you ask me.
231 kilometers, my farthest ever!
With all the rest I had in Regina I was surprised how rusty I felt for the first 50 kilometers. I was still making good time though as I had a tailwind, nothing epic but anyone pedalling the opposite direction would be slowed down. As Regina disappeared behind me the road was more or less flat and gradually straightened out into a south easterly direction toward Manitoba.
I got in a 100 kilometers before noon and arrived at my originally planned destination of Wosely. I knew I was going to go further today but I wanted to check out the town as this is part of the “Hamer” road which is Wosely to Wapella. There is a lake on one side of the town with a little swing bridge and the town hall is an old brick building that is over 100 years old. It is quiet a beautiful town with trees on both sides of the road often with the treetops touching over the middle of the road making it nice and shady it the hot summer sun.
