Sigh...my last day of riding through this.
Day #22 Brandon to Winnipeg, 225 km.
I was really starting to wonder when I get my first 200km day. When I started in Vancouver I figured I'd have half a dozen of them by this point, but bear in mind I'm doing this trip on a mountain bike not a roadie. But I finally bagged her today and did it with a 30.9kph average, it felt really good. My only wish was that Winnipeg was 50 km farther away. I got out of Brandon late 10:15 since was planing to get to Winnipeg in two easy days and as I had to try to dry off my stuff from the night before. I was pleasantly surprised to have a decent tail wind when I pulled onto the highway. I soon realized that with some planing and hard work I'd be able to get to Winnipeg today if the wind didn't change on me. That being said the road are just plane scary to ride on in this province and for all the fun I had at times there was sheer terror at others. That is no joke.
Vancouver to Winnipeg in 21 days of riding is pretty damn good if I do say so myself.
