June 4 - Day 29 - Treherne MB 122 km

 2,828 km total πŸ˜€

Well it was another glorious day…..and the pedal assist was amazing- the strong west wind!!!!  It greatly assisted getting me here in good time….. I’ve been so lucky!   It was cool this morning, and warmed up nicely not long after I was on the road, but not too hot….Goldilocks weather….it was just right!!!!

Mountie in Redvers

Campsite this morning 

Campsite in Souris

Suspension bridge model….just like the real thing!!!

Sarah the Camel in Glenboro

Windmill in the town of Holland

Glass chapel - built in mid1980-took 3 months to build

Glass house took 2 months to build

Inside the glass chapel, there have been several weddings here 

The roads here sometimes have a 12 inch shoulder, and most of the time no shoulder at all - I am on a secondary road.  Most of the time the vehicles move over, but when there’s opposing traffic, I get onto the gravel shoulder which is deep and loose gravel.  No close calls yet thankfully.   People do what they can to give me room….even slowing down until the opposing traffic has passed then they move into the other lane.  I feel quite safe….but I’m always watching ahead and behind in my mirror, as well as listening for traffic.  

Every town seems to have an attraction.  Redvers has the statue of a Mountie on horseback, Souris has the longest historic suspended bridge, Glenboro has a statue of a camel, and Treherne has a glass house and chapel!!!!  I was too late in the day to visit the suspension bridge yesterday, but was able to visit the glass house today!!!!  

Thanks for all the texts….and the weather report Jasper πŸ˜€πŸ˜€.  Tomorrow I should be able to make Winnipeg

Winnipeg today! Holy cow. That should almost put you half way across the country. Hard to imagine how much road you have covered. And glad the weather queen is still having her affect and keeping the winds on your back.
