Day Twenty-Eight: Portage La Prairie, Manitoba: Windy day, but sunny, not uncomfortable, fewer and fewer trees, and more and more wind. Strangely painful on the hamstrings (after hours in the same gear on a relatively flat hwy) am realizing this could be a problem. Have to make the effort to stand up, change gears, and mix it up just to give the legs a break. Manitoba hwys are the worse yet, kms with no shoulders. Its a high to be finally on the prairies but a rude awakening to find out there is NOTHING between towns, no little motels like in Eastern Canada. Will have to plan more carefully where to stop at days end.
216 kms- 10 hrs 31 minutes - 4,580 kms Total (28 days)
Contador pulled a sucker punch on Schleck yesterday and now wears yellow. Is there no honour in cycling anymore? Yes, there is Brian!! :) Congrats on making it out of Ontario. There will be cupcakes upon your return. What's your favourite flavour?
