Redcliff - Swift Current - Into Sask!!!

248km total!!! Average speed 27.5km/hr. 9hr00min of actual biking.
Apparently Medicine Hat got hit hard by the storm and a building's roof collapsed. Golf ball sized hail. I don't think the tent would have stood up to that!
Great roads. Felt like all downhill. I had a tailwind all day long. The went into Medicine Hat to get groceries and spent 20 minutes trying to get out, only to end up back on the hwy 5km before I got off. (You should be able to get all your supplies without leaving the main hwy so don't go into town).
So..on the road at 10:40am and into camp at 8:30pm I think.
I camped just inside Swift Current at Trail Campground just north of the hwy. $14 per night. Pay showers.
Another guy pulled into camp just after me. Finally, a fellow tripper. His name is Andrew Ross. You can check out his log at http://canada2005.crazyguyonabike.com
The Prairies aren't all that flat so far, but it sure is nice not to have summits and passes to deal with.
The mountains do have some spectacular views, but so do the Prairies. There is something very powerful about biking through such a vastness.
It would have been nice to see this area before the roads, farms and houses.
