Day 18, July 7, Herbert to Moose Jaw

We woke up at 6:30am today to a great breakfast prepared by Anne. We ate and said our goodbyes, and were on the road at Herbert by 8:30am. We had another tailwind today. It was great. It was easy to sustain 35km/h.

The weather was hit and miss today. Within a span of 20 minutes, I put on and took off my rain jacket twice. You were either cold, or extremely hot under your rain jacket. However, the tailwind for most of the day more than made up for it.

At one point we noticed that Brett and Allan weren’t behind us. After about an hour they caught up to tell us the van had a flat. We rode the next 24k into Moose Jaw where we tried to find a tire store with a tire we needed. After the 3rd tire shop we visited, we were able to get one. It cost us around $200.00. Enterprise will reimburse us-hopefully.

We rode 120k today. It was an easy ride. We’re hoping to ride beyond Regina tomorrow, but we’re not too sure yet. We’re going to the town where they shoot Corner Gas.
