gotta love that woman (and I DO!!)

                                     here's where we started today

Rain threatened the entire day, but only got a few drops here and there and really couldn't ask for more.  The wind was challenging for the first half of the ride but calmed a bit thereafter so got at least a bit of a break to end things off.  With about 20 km to go, we passed a set of 3 cyclists, but given that it had just started to rain, I slipped by without stopping and talking, which I now regret.  Since coming out of BC, we have seen very few cyclists, so meeting anyone on a highway trek demands some acknowledgment.  Sorry team, maybe we'll meet later on and swap stories.

Got a very nice television interview with a Swift Current TV station - Southwest TV News and story should air shortly.  The reporter claimed that the area had been extremely wet and that she wasn't surprised that the day was overcast and spitting as that was a typical day lately.  This certainly is farm country, and we definitely knew that we were in RIDER NATION! (sorry about last year's Grey Cup guys, there will always be another chance in a decade or two - just kidding.....)
 

            Had a another riding partner for a bit but the pace killed him.....
