I got a 7:00am start today. That's not too hard to do because the sun rises very early here in eastern Saskatchewan, especially as they do not observe daylight savings time. There was a gentle tail wind and lots of sunshine.
The wind picked up during the morning but was mostly behind me. The route switched between east and south east. The winds were from the south and south west so there were a few times when the wind got in front of me and slowed me down a lot. Overall, I managed to keep up a pretty good pace of about 26 km/h and covered the 118 km distance to Grenfell in a little over 4 hours.
Just as I came into Grenfell, I crossed the 2,000 km point of this trip! About 25% done! I celebrated with two small pices of chocolate.
Along the way, I passed Indian Head: "A Progressive Prairie Town" and Sintaluta.
Rochelle saw some huge wind generator blades on a train that looked much like the picture above.
I arrived in Grenfell a bit before noon but it took me a while to find the campground. There are actually two campgrounds in this little town and I found the other one first. Eventually I found the Grenfell Regional Park Campground just behind the swimming pool and sports complex. That complex also provides washroom and shower facilities for the campground.
With today's cycling over by noon, I've got the rest of the day to do other stuff. The pool looks inviting!
Tomorrow, we cross over into Manitoba and head for Elkhorn, 135 km away.
