I left with Becky and Louise this morning. When we got off
of Route 41 onto Route 42 we were met with a head wind. We decided to form a pace
line because we would be heading into this wind for the remainder of the day so
any way to decrease the force of wind would help. We met up with Gee, Larry,
Rob, and Erik, creating an even bigger pace line. The advantage of a large pace
line is it reduces the number of times you need to be at the front pulling the
rest of the line. Plus, it makes time go by a bit more quickly.
We stopped at Shoal Lake for lunch. It was a cute little
town with a nice beach.
After lunch the goal was simply to get to camp so I put my head down and rode. Reaching
Minnedosa was a blessing. Although the wind wasn’t too strong, it still took a chunk of your energy. Before we got into Minnedosa however the road was absolutely
brutal. There were so many cracks in the road, it was ridiculous. I was afraid
my tire would go flat because of all the bumps. But Paula and I made it there
in one piece :)
Tomorrow we were cycling to Portage la Prairie where I would
see my sister! I was soooo excited! :)
