Day Twenty - Rest Day Regina

This morning I slept in until 7.  I would have had a little more but I had to get my laundry done before we took the cab into town to do some errands.  Arlen and I were going to pick up our bikes from yesterday.  A couple of the other guys needed to get a hair cut and one other wanted to get some post cards and see the city.

Before we got to do our errands we went to breakfast at a place around the corner from the bike shop that was recommended by the cab driver.  He took us to Mr. Breakfast that was on Albert St, the main street through Regina.  Walked in and sat down and looked over the menu.

After we had ordered a couple sat down and she noticed Arlen's Tour Du Canada jersey and asked if he had done the tour.  He explained what we were doing and she said that she had done some shorter tours.  We have met quite a few people that are familiar with the tour or have done this or other tours that Cycle Canada offers.

At the bike shop I was happy to hear my bill was only $50 for an Ultegra chain, an upgrade from my 105 chain as they didn't have any in stock.  The mechanic names Lawrence, pictured below, charged me no labour and was able to fix it quickly.  The other guys picked up some Chamois butter, a pump, tires, and some arm cooling sleeves.

Once done at the bike shop a couple guys needed a haircut and proceeded to the nearest one according to Google which was closed.  The next closest was open and both were looking more aerodynamic with there new cuts.  The guys next stop was a Superstore but I chose to go and pick up my bike and seek out a cool place to relax.

I found a Tim Horton's that had really good internet where I was able to stay cool, watch Netflix and catchup on my emails.
