We're in Manitoba now. We crossed the border early in the day and promply lost an hour due to the time zone change. However, a short day of 64 km.
Our first day on Manitoba roads wasn't too bad. There are lots of stories about no shoulders on this province's roads. We had a few km of no shoulder, but then 14 km of new pavement with a shoulder and the remainder had an adequate shoulder.
Gerry Ashley and Leddy are in the motel, Laura and I are in a pretty little campsite. We took a non-powered campsite because they are cheaper, but I blew the savings on a double scoop, chocolate dipped waffle cone. Yummy!
A word about photos - it takes me 5 to 10 minutes to get one photo into the blog (review what is in the camera, select them, upload them to my memory stick, process them with Paint and finally upload them into blogger). So, I'll do writing first and add photos if time permits. I am currently in the library madly updating this thing. I also give no apologies for spelling errors - I'm trying to get it written before my time expires.

Wow!! Your 4th province!! I'm sad that I'm not there! Dan & I catch the bus back to Burnaby tomorrow - 20 hour ride. Ick... We've boxed up our bikes. That was a bit of a pain. The ball bearings in my front fork all fell out when I removed the handlebars. I now know to leave the headset (?) on when I take the bars off. I think it's going to the bike shop in the box when we get home. :) Have fun in Manatoba!! Happy belated to Ashley!
I forgot to ask... Does the flag sticking out on Laura's bike cause drivers to give her more room?
Thanks for the call last night. We just got home this morning - about 22 hours from Fort Saskatchewan to Burnaby by bus... We had a 2 hour delay in Calgary. Too bad they kept saying "any minute now". We could've wandered around Calgary for a while instead of sitting in the not-very-exciting bus depot.
