YEEEEEHAWL!
Giddyup 'caHatuse it was a straight shot through Alberta.
With the wind at my back I made it from Calgary to Medicine Hat in one day.
Yes, I cycled 270km in one day-- the most I've ever gone in one day. The prairies are big, so I guess it's go big or go home!
First I took the 22x through the Siksika Reservation. It reminded me of the trip I made there when I was 17 and I wonder where all my biological relatives are.
I tested the wind moving north and almost got pushed off the road as I made my way through Gleichen and the business district of the reserve.
My bike swayed and croaked as the metal bent in the wind. My bike was a big parachute and I was going 45.
I had promised myself to ride the wind when I could in BC so I rode and rode.
At dusk the wind petered out and I kept on riding through in the dark.
At 11 I made it to my destination and a new personal record.
Destination Medicine Hat
Record: 270km in one day
I found a suitable ditch and went to sleep .
The clouds darkened and I looked at the stars as they were gradually overtaken. Nothing could go wrong here, right? .....
I'm ahead now!
