We got up to the article in Star Phoenix about us — quite well done I thought. Jean and Gus took us to the highway and sent us off there. Boy we never thought that we were going to need to build up our leg muscles on the mountains so that we could cope with Saskatchewan! pic188.jpg (26172 bytes)We faced a strong SE wind the entire way and were lucky if we could get up to 15 kph. It was really difficult as it would sweep across the fields and hit the bikes from front and side making the bikes swerve. It just never let up. We took a couple of hour breaks — one lying in the shade in Elstow and one in Colonsay where we had hoped to stay. Alas, the hotel rooms were all taken by construction workers at the Potash mine, but they phoned ahead to Viscount and we booked a room.
