Oh Dear. I usually write my blog each night. If I am tired, or we are at a warmshowers host I will write it in point form and then fill it in later. If I forget anything of significance I check the photographs that Ralf has taken to jog my memory. Well… when I came to post this days’ blog there was nothing. No notes, and only one photo – what was this day like. Obviously it was blank, nothing much happened on this day between Moose Jaw and Regina.

I do remember that as we were saying our farewells to Keri and the kids Ralf got a text from our warmshowers host (Gordon) in Regina. He said that if we get to Regina by 12:30 he could slip away from work and let us in. Maybe that is why we hurtled down the very straight road to Regina.

Those little blips on the elevation profile were railway bridges!  Total climbing 128 metres!  We did get to Regina by 12:30. We watched some of the Tour de France in the afternoon and relaxed for a few hours.

Gordon made us a lovely dinner and we had a chat about his travels. He has cycled across Canada from west to east and from north to south.
