Day Thirty: Indian Head, Saskatchewan. (80 kms east of Regina). The prairies are sooo NOT flat! It's a long, steady grind uphill with no breaks. The other challenge, unlike eastern provinces, the TC does NOT run through towns, so you have to get off the hwy to look for a motel, then backtrack if there isn't one. It was a sunny, slightly windy day, perfect for riding. In case that doesn't continue, I took advantage of it for a fourth straight day of 200 plus kms. Am exhausted though. This motel earns the dubious distinction of the worse yet! Cramped, dusty, the taps leak, the windows and door barely close, there are no hangers, the sheets seem clean but everything is damp. No phone, no internet, a TV with one channel (C: Tx God for CBC!). It's only 150 kms to Moose Jaw, and I'm looking forward to it (and a clean motel) already!

  1. You are truly a cycling machine Brian!! Awesome job. Hope you're collecting samples of the different types of rocks you pass along the way as you travel Canada. That would really be cool - lol
