I've been riding with Henri, the québécois cyclist I camped with in The Hat.
He's pretty young and a former bike racer but seems okay with slowing down so I can keep up. It's great for me because I'm pushing my usual pace and am becoming a stronger cyclist. It's also nice splitting the cost of campgrounds and having someone to talk to.
I don't know how long we will continue riding together. I would like to get off of the Trans Canada and go south and either continue riding in Canada or drop back down to the states. The wind needs to cooperate which it doesn't seem to want to do. Tomorrow, there is a south wind forecast that I am unwilling to fight just to head south so I'll continue on the TransCanada for another day. There is a road the heads southeast out of Moose Jaw that I might take.
I thought the plains would be flat but in actuality, there are lots of rolling hills.
It's very pretty but tougher riding than I anticipated.
The wind sometimes cooperates and comes from the prevailing westerly direction but a good chunk of the time it comes from the south or east giving a strong side or headwind that is really exhausting to pedal in all day.
