We decided to start today from Elrose rather than to go experience the pleasure of driving back along that gravel road to the crossroad near Tyner. Turns out our travel distance would be the same anyways as we actually had to backtrack a fair amount to get to Elrose. Tanya, in particular, expressed her delight at not having to drive that road again. :)
The day's ride was about 115 km, which we rode in about 4 hours and 5 minutes. The vast majority of today, we had a massive tailwind making the ride much nicer.
We briefly met up with the RV once, then sent them onto Swift Current to the RV park. (Though we did surprise Mom and Dad awhile later when we caught up to them while they were taking a quick scenic tour of a tourist area in a park.)
Today was pretty uneventful overall. The terrain was pretty rolly for most of it, and we had one pretty decent climb out of a really neat Saskatchewan provincial park called Saskatchewan Landing. One other notable point for the day is that coming into Swift Current, I reached my fasted speed ever of 71 km/h. And yes, I was breaking. I don't think I ever need to see that again :P
We're currently in the Poderosa RV park located on the TransCanada Highway. The showers, though pretty claustrophobic as Warren put it, were the hottest we've had in days which is really exciting.
Dinner is just about ready, so I guess I'll sign off for now.
Until next time!!
