The fantastic tailwind I had a few days ago has shifted into a moderate headwind due to some stupid low that has come in over the mountains to the west. It's been annoying but didn't get really bad until the last stretch coming into Medicine Hat, or 'The Hat', as the locals call it.
The prairie continues to be really pretty.
They grow a lot of canola around here which is currently blooming.
About two minutes after I pulled into camp, another cyclist pulled in so we decided to share a campsite. Henri is from Quebec and is riding home from Vancouver, BC.
I met two other cyclists today outside of Bow Island. Helen and Erika are on their first tour and are riding across Canada. We had a good chat by the side of the road. It's really rare to see women riding so it was great to meet these two.
I guess they grow a lot of pinto beans in Bow Island. They must be really proud of the fact since they have one of these statues on both ends of town.
Tomorrow I cross into Saskatchewan and at some point will start heading south into North Dakota.
