Today turned out to be a tough day for the cyclists. There were only 4 of us (Gerry, Leddy, Laura and me) - the rest had taken a side trip to Edmonton to do some chores.
We left Thorsby, headed for Leduc. We had a bit of a south east headwind. After a stop in Leduc and another in Rollyview (population about 3 from what we could tell) we lunched in Miquelon Lake Park.
The weather forecast included a chance of thundershowers. Just as we were leaving the sky darkened and the storm started. We hunkered down under the local store's covered patio and waited out the storm while contemplating moving tables around so Laura and I could pitch a tent if we were stuck there.
It was just a thundershower - after an hour it had abated enough to continue, except the wind had shifted 180 degrees and the rest of our trip was still against stiff headwinds (even though we were going north instead of east now).
All's well that ends well. We got to Tofield and had a great dinner in Tilly's in Tofield. Thanks to Ruth and Gus!
Photos - Gerry took a picture of us at the park before the storm and an hour later after we had geared up for the storm.
Gerry's GPS also turned over 2000 km today! Only another 7000 or so to go!
