8 days to go before my cousin’s wedding in
Toronto; should be plenty of time if all goes well. We thanked Beamer Pilot and Gail and
proceeded to head east. We’re hoping to
ride to Saskatoon, which means we’ll be riding through the Canadian Prairies. I’ve talked to a few friends who drove across
Canada and they all say that the prairies are boring. “The land is completely flat and the road can
be seen miles and miles ahead of you”.
Of course it is; you drove! I’ve
been looking forward to riding through the prairies for a long time.
I find the contrast between high mountains
and flat land fascinating
Some refer to the Canadian Prairies as a
continuation of the Great Plains region of the United States
When nature calls…a truck drove by
unexpectedly and honked his horn while Amanda was in the middle of doing her
business. I was supposed to be on the
lookout for oncoming traffic, but missed that one because I was rolling on the
grass laughing my butt off.
The neat thing about riding through the
prairies is that you can see weather from afar.
Thunder showers on our right…
…and to our left, sun & clouds with a
rainbow thrown in for good measure.
We made it to Saskatoon and stopped at a
local Boston Pizza to watch a UFC event.
The place was crowded, but we managed to find a table for the two of us
to sit. We noticed a couple standing
next to our table watching the fights because all the seats had been
taken. We invited them over to sit with
us…
…next thing we knew, we’re over at their
place for the after party. Here, we were
introduced to a “beer & clam” for the first time; surprisingly not too bad
actually. Saskatoon is remembered for
randomly meeting Donovan & Sarah.

When
nature calls, squat.
When
there are peaks, there’re valleys.
When
you give, you get.
