Tuesday - heading south today to catch on to the Redcoat Trail. Strong head wind for the first 44 km barely moving and very frustrating. Michele took a break on account of her saddle sores!

All up early and after a sloppy Jo fry up we broke camp and headed up the Trans Canada. Strong cross wind made progress slow. Lunch stop at Tomkins famous for its sod hut.

Wednesday with the promise of a five star hotel this evening (5 star in Saskatchewan means - shower, flushing toilet, your own bed non of which we have had for the last three days!) Michele was ready and waiting to go. The wind behind us at last although with all those veggies last night I'm not sure how self propelled we were! Anyway we made good time on a great road.

Tuesday - sorry Internet unavailable so a day late blogging! Woke up and the wind was blowing a gale actually in the right direction for a change. After spending most of the day before blubbing!

Sun up and off. The road is good with wide shoulders so coasted along well during the morning. Frogs riveting and coyotes crossing in front of me.

Wednesday! The forecast looked good. In reality the pouring rain just gave me the shivers.
