Now the transport trucks are our friends!

Just a quick blog update from a library in Medicine Hat Alberta!
Don't have much time- but wanted to write that we are all safe and the weather has been great. We lucked out and mostly missed the rain yesterday (although we still got quite a bit of the winds!) and today was absolutely beautiful. I will do a more thorough update later but... last night we stayed in an abandoned campground that was closed to put a pipe-line through.. but it wasn't officially closed, at least there was no sign... SO we camped anyways. Hey, it was 8:30pm and we had ridden 180 km. Today we had a great tailwind for about 40 minutes where we were averaging between 34-40 km per hour. It was sweet! That got us into medicine hat early enough to shower, grocery shop, check out the public library (which is really nice stop in here if you plan on doing a library tour (?) of canada anytime soon) and now we are going out to eat. This keyboard is really hard to type on... so adios until our next restday when I will write another tome.

God Bless!

P.S. I like transport trucks now because they give you a bit of tail wind that helps pick up your cadence... that and there is not a cliff on the other side of me now!
