Journey Notes

(posted on 8 Jun 2012)

It was a short day today travelling from Moose Jaw to Regina (87 km) although some head winds still made it a bit difficult. I may also be a bit tired, having ridden the last 7 days in a row. The weather is not looking great for tomorrow due to high head winds again and the next stop is 118 km down the road so we might take it as a rest day.

Today's ride was very flat. The first really flat ground that I have seen in Saskatchewan. I think because of the head winds, I had the feeling that I was riding uphill all day. It was a bit of an odd feeling like everything was just tilted a bit.

I passed a very big processing operation. I wasn't able to figure out what it was for but there seemed to be some big piles of white tailings.

I arrived at our meeting point, the Regina Costco at about 11:30am. We had something to eat there and resupplied before continuing on to our camp spot, King's Acres Campground, just 4 km further east.

It has been a scorching hot afternoon so we have been relaxing and catching up on a few things this afternoon. It think that it's time to get a little maintenance done on the bike too.
