DAY 20: Brooks to Medicine Hat

Total kms today: 105 km

Great tailwinds....and overcast! Excellent for us, but also excellent for the mosquitos. It's hard to believe that they were landing on us and biting while we were riding 30km/hr. Lots of bites.

Arrived safely into town, getting in touch with some media, finding a campsite etc and wondering what we will do for dinner. At the tourist info, they told us that the mosquitos have only become bad in the last couple of days - it is all that rain this spring.

We are hoping to arrive in Swift Current for Canada DAY.

HWY Prairie NEWS

Klara, Alisha and Jennica have begun a cycling tourist choir which specilizes in 'camp' compositions. Today's show included "Found a peanut, " "My eyes are dim," "Hermie the worm," "Great Big Moose," "One day my rooster," and "I love my rooster."

The Cross Canada "Cyclist" composition (sung to the gambler) has been put on hold. Ask the girls about their BC edition of "I like the flowers."
