We were all done with clean up at camp by 8 but I was the last cyclist to get on the road. The forecast was for a westerly tailwind but the head wind wasn't too bad.
I was able to catchup with Matt about 20 km into the ride as he stopped to eat a sandwich. We agreed to be on sweep together and off we rode.
We rode into Rosetown and looked for a place to have "a proper lunch". We rode through town looking around and noticed a bunch of familiar bicycles parked out front of the Dairy Queen.
It is amazing how a quick stop and a cold drink in an air conditioned restaurant makes you feel so much better.
We got on to highway 15 and found the road to be in very good condition, very flat, and very straight. In the far distance we saw a storm forming.
With only 10 km to go it started to lightly rain. It wasn't too bad. Compared to yesterday everything is no problem.
We arrived into camp to hear about stories of other riders that got soaked in the storm.
While dinner was being cooked I hand washed my 2 pairs of bike shorts, jerseys, and socks as a rest day is still two days away.
