Before we can get back to cycling we need to check out of the hotel we had moved into when I got sick. I think I neglected to mention this earlier. Checking out meant clearing out all our stuff we had dragged into the hotel. Then we needed to drive the hour back to Weyburn... Continue Reading →
Initially our stop in Estevan was just to be a day off with an opportunity to visit our niece. Unfortunately I got either a stomach flu or possibly ate something that gave me food poisoning. Anyway not pretty and the result is a couple of days in bed recovering.
We are surprised by the size of Estevan and how much new construction there is across the community both commercial and residential. We have lots to do today. The RV is overdo for an oil change and Samantha has made an appointment to take it in. The local Rotary Club meets at noon at the... Continue Reading →

What a difference a day can make. Today after a nice hot shower and breakfast, I set off without the worry of how to get to where I needed to cycle. Right out of the park was the paved highway. The road was winding and quite hilly. Unfortunately, the hills were too far apart to... Continue Reading →
I was quite pleased that I had managed to sort out a route across Medicine Hat to avoid the section of the Trans-Canada where cyclists are not allowed and upload it from my computer to my Garmin. I managed this without the assistance of a 12 year old. Leaving our campsite around 8:30 a.m. the... Continue Reading →
