I’m still not used to this new time zone and slept in an extra hour. Thomas and Amy packed up and left about 45 minutes before me but I passed them within about only 30 minutes of riding because it was windy again and they take frequent breaks.
I couldn’t find any towns to eat lunch at so I propped my bike up against a stop sign and leaned against it, trying to stay in it’s shadow. People driving by gave me a few weird looks as I sat there reading. Some time later In Minnedosa I stopped to read in a cafe while eating a sundae to escape the combination of heat and very high humidity.
I stayed the night at the Neepawa campground where the manager said she felt like being nice to someone and gave me a nice campspot by the stream for free. There was another cyclist here who was heading west from Winnipeg on a recumbent bike. I talked with him for quite a while though never got his name. He admits that he doesn’t think he is going to make it because he is going so much slower than he expected. It is probably because he was carrying so much gear in his trailer.
