Another good day on the bikes, no exhaustion or crashes or emergencies or drivers falling asleep from the boredom yet. After lunch at an odd little place called Twin Lakes Paradise, where Kim purchased an inspiriational T-shirt for me, I experienced on of the most perfect hours I've ever had on a bike. The temperature was perfect, and with the tailwind and gentle hills we traveled over 40 kms in an hour with what seemed like no effort. It was exquisite. But then we travelled 65 more kms and that seemed a little harder. That's right, full century today, and it's probably a good thing because if we hadn't done it today, we would have had to ride a surprise 180ish tomorrow, due to late reshufflings etc. in the riding schedule. Anyway, here are some pictures, none of which involve actually riding a bike, but it turns out there is a Deadwood in Alberta too.
