DAY 16 - BRANDON - WINDY SASKATCHEWAN IS BEHIND HIM TODAY

Yesterday was another wet, wet day for dad.  He stopped in a tourist booth in Wolseley to get warm.  The new gloves he bought in Regina the day before took a beating.  Jennifer, from Wolseley, tied some plastic bags over dad's gloves to keep the heat in for him even though they were soaked.  Dad gives a big thank you to Jennifer as this worked for a while on his ride.  Dad made it to his planned destination of Whitewood last evening and called warm and dry from the Whitewood Inn.  A BIG THANK YOU to the Whitewood Inn who donated the room and breakfast to dad in support of his ride.

Today is a huge ride from Whitewood to Brandon, approximately 117 miles (186 km).  He will be leaving Saskatchewan and entering Manitoba.  Another province behind him.  Also, a time change as well.  We won't have to worry as late into the evening waiting to hear from him.

  1. I went out to meet Gary on the road and we came into Brandon together. It turned out to be a short ride because Gary had made such good time with the wind at his back and was closer to Brandon than we thought he would be. We had a great evening of fellowship with Gary and enjoyed listening to the experiences he has encountered along the way. It is a very aggressive ride with no days off. We admire him. After dropping his bike off this morning to have new tires installed we found a hair salon so that he could get a trim. I dropped him back at A & L Get Active and as they were just finishing up I bid my farewell. Unfortunately the sunny weather that had been forecast is not in site and he will have to start out in the rain again. Have a great ride Gary.
