Day 9 and back in Calgary for a few nights. A refreshing ride today compared the the heat of the last few days: I've always liked riding in cooler weather a little better. We stopped in Water Valley for a brief interview with the Hitching Post and a sendoff from the zealous Valaqua folk, and then headed to Calgary. Heather joined old-hand support driver Kim today, and was assuredly the most vocal supporter we have had so far. It's too bad she wasn't around earlier as her out-the-window-passing skills are second to none. We rolled into the Menno Simons parking lot around 3 and after a brief meet and greet with some of the riders joining us tomorrow morning, were of to resupply and rest. Looking forward to some comparatively short days and a bit of a tailwind tomorrow, and hoping for little to no rain. The majority of our mileage is now over and it will be nice to ride at a more relaxed pace for a while. Not many pictures today due to the foreboding clouds, but I'll post some anyway.
