Spring 1997 - Cincinnati to Yukon
Journals - 4 June 1997
Day 65 - Bradwell, Sask.
4 June 1997 (sunny and hot; east winds! mileage = 103.8) -- A - Another 100
miler! Gee golly -- what a good day! We left the wonderful hospitality of
Strasbourg pre-5 AM. There was already some wind super early but
miraculously it was out of the east! But we were stuck on a northward stint
for about 50 km. We knocked it off quickly using the half-hour break
schedule which I like very much. We stopped at Watrous for lunch in a
restaurant and new batteries for our cycle computers and some yummy bakery
goods. Chris got a mincemeat pie and I got donuts. Stopped at the info
center (there due to a salt water lake with a spa) and got some of their
bottled water. We encountered some gravel roads but we were cranking so
hard, we didn't notice them to slow us much. We stopped in Allan for some
milk and a popsicle and Chris earned $5 helping a guy move a couch. It
didn't seem suited to camping, so we moved on. We hit 100 miles and stopped
for the obligatory picture (combined with peeing in mosquitoes). Got to
this town (Bradwell) and found a yard which turned out to be absolutely
packed with mosquitoes, so we threw the tent up and I killed about 15
inside the tent. Relaxing now.
