Today is a big day for dad. He is off to Regina which is approximately 108 miles of cycling today. The weather for the next few days in Saskatchewan is cloudy with showers. We all know that their definition of showers is different than ours so the next few days could be rides in the rain. There are not that many towns in Saskatchewan so the next three days are big rides to get to his destinations. Regina to Whitewood is another 110 miles and then Whitewood to Brandon is approximately 117 miles.Thursday, May 27, 2010
DAY 13 - REGINA
Dad arrived in Morse last evening. He called me from the Morse Cafe and he says a BIG SPECIAL THANK YOU to Dave and Linda Fairfield who had let him use their phone, check out the blog, and for their amazing kindness.

This is a picture of the railway tracks that run through Morse and stretch as far as the eye can see.

I am a 40 yr old single mom from Regina and I just finished my radiation treatment in April for thyroid cancer. I never thought I would be needing surgeries and treatment for cancer at 40 years old as I am a very healthy person. It really sent my whole family for a loop! Thank you so much for raising funds and awareness across Canada. I did not know thyroid cancer was so common until I was a lucky recipient! Ha ha. My sister sent me this blog last night and I will be tracking your progress. Thanks again and good luck!
