Day 14 - Kindersley (surprise)

The sky was still spitting at us when we got up this morning. Ilan and I waited until well after the others to get on the road, expecting the road to start drying out, and we were right. Here is Ilan chasing the rain out of Alberta:

The route couldn't have been simpler. We exited the motel and followed one road all the way to the destination. Along the way we saw lots of pretty yellow canola fields...

...and crossed into Saskatchewan at km 88.

Somewhere around km 120, we were blessed with a massive tailwind. At this point, everything came together. The temperature was perfect (low 20s), the sun was shining, the road was smooth and flat and the wind was pushing us along at 35 - 45 km/h. I told Ilan, "this is why I ride my bike." It was perfect. And Ilan made it to Kindersley just in time for a speaking engagement related to his charity.

To top it off, we were treated to a steak dinner and cheesecake (I had three pieces). All in all a satisfying day!
