July 16th, Rosetown Saskatchewan

Arrived in Rosetown , Saskatchewan this afternoon after a 90km ride against a good easterly headwind. our plan had been to stay in Outlook which is 70km east of here but we decided to cut it short .
Including today we've cycled 638 km in 5 days since leaving Banff . On Tuesday we cycled in rain ( 15mm ) for 6 and a half hours ( 154km ) from Cochrane to Drumheller Al. We figured this was payback for the 12 straight days of sunshine through the Rockies .
The Rockies are but a memory now and the prairies as expected are pretty flat, though the scenery is still beautiful especially the yellow canola fields stretching to the horizon.
Since leaving Banff we have taking advantage of some pretty good tailwinds and put in some respectable mileage . Banff to Cochrane 105km , to Drumheller 154 km , to Youngstown 134km ,to Kindersley Sask. 155 km ,and to Rosetown 90km .Out here in the prairies we've been offered people's backyards to camp on several occasions though we've haven't taken these offers , it is nice to get them . I'm unable to download pictures here in the Rosetown info center , so next chance I get I will post a few .
take care
Lee

    It was very interesting to hear your story at the tourism booth today. I enjoyed looking through your posts and pictures and I think you 4 are an inspiration to many.

    I work at the tourism booth and I just wanted to let you know that your camera cord is here, just in case you were looking for it.

    Thanks for stopping by!
