June 3 - Day 28 - Souris MB 110 km

Elizabeth and David ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Derek ❤️❤️

Show and Tell 😀😀😀😀

 Today was the best day ever!!!!  I got to go to school for show and tell 😀. First I rode Elizabeth and David to school, then I brought my bike inside and had a wonderful session with the grades 2,3&4 from Redvers school.  I told them what my project was, and how I was getting it accomplished….then I opened it up to questions…..and what wonderful insightful questions!!!!  The ladies and gentlemen were so much fun….thank you so much for letting me come and share my story 😀😀❤️❤️❤️


After that I had a longer visit with Katy and Derek and mom and grandmother….then lunch…..a full day of visiting over at 1pm.  Such a lovely visit….wish I could have stayed longer, but I needed to hit the trail.  

Another tail wind again today!!!  Everything was going well until a gust front went through north to south.  I thought I could outride it….but 100m later I was taking cover under my bothy bag….a one persons nylon cover.  It was blowing hard….but I was comfortable inside the bag…..so glad I brought it.  

I finally made it to Souris….but I forgot about the time change….so all the restaurants except for the drive-in were closed.  Another burger for dinner 😀😀😀

The riding was good today…..with a tail wind and it being downhill I made good time getting here.  I think I’m going to head up to the transcanada tomorrow.  Although the road that I’m on is nice and quiet, the shoulders are deep gravel.  Most drivers are pulling over into the opposite lane, and most are slowing down….it is still a bit uncomfortable.  I’ll see what the wind is doing tomorrow and decide then.  

Thanks for all the texts and comments.  I’m in Manitoba, but didn’t see a sign!  Probably because I was on a secondary highway.  Two days to Winnipeg 😀😀😀
