May 27 - Day 21 to Medicine Hat - 155 km

Snacks

 What a day…..another fabulous day.  Before I go into any details….a shout out and a thank you to the very kind people at the Rustic Pub who not only were interested in my project, but also paid for my meal…..so kind and generous when you were having a difficult day.  The kindness of strangers can be overwhelming ❤️❤️❤️

Ok….it was a long hot day….and I took several breaks, and even ate some lunch and drank about 1.5litres today.  That’s a lot for me.  And I learned a new skill today…..so excited.  Well, I learned how to drink while riding….so that means removing my bottle from the holder and tipping it up to drink. But that’s not the new skill!   I have two bottle holders on my cross tube and  today, I managed to swap bottles while riding!!!!  That’s my new skill….and I didn’t crash!   Whoop Whoop😀😀

I did have a bit of tail wind to start, but then the wind died off….just as the rolling hills started.  I wasn’t watching the km count up, but rather the 1/10 of km.  Eventually I arrived in Medicine Hat….well the sign , and then I saw that the info centre was 7 km away 🥵. I thought I was never going to get to the campground. Earlier this morning I met a fellow cyclist also going across Canada.  He’s much faster than me so I’m hoping to get going early tomorrow.  The plan for tomorrow is Maple Creek.
