Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt
July 9th - day 43

Rode through 20 miles of cold rain and headwind on Route 16a. Once again, we became Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt as we chased storms for the rest of the day.

Relaxing day of rest. Threw the frisbee on the Alberta campus. Got the bikes fixed. Picked up some supplies and relaxed in the motel hot tub.

Edmonton, and some must-needed R&R and bike maintenance
July 7th - day 41

Grueling day of riding entering Edmonton. Countless flats mixed with expressway traffic made entering the city a nightmare. It was great to sleep in the motel though! Edmonton was really cool, especially on the south side. Reminded me a lot of South Street in Philadelphia (Alex's Note: betcha not as many amazing gyros!)

Great sleep, Winds, Lloydminster, Hills and Lakes
July 5th - day 39

Had a great sleep through a gigantic thunderstorm last night. Fought winds for 35 miles into Lloydminster and took a break until 6. Finished the day at 66 miles and camped on top of a ridge on the side of the road overlooking rolling hills and lakes.
