Just got a call from Alex, he left my grandparents’ place today (after my grandmother loaded him up with food!) and biked 160km to make it to Brooks, AB. He’s been keeping up a pretty quick pace, averaging about 25km/h with some bursts of up to 40km/h! I think the Rockies have really whipped him into shape 🙂
As he was getting close to Brooks it started getting extremely windy, and he heard from the locals that there was a storm warning in effect, so he decided to seek out a motel rather than try camping for tonight. He’s staying at the Plains Motel, about 160km from the Saskatchewan border. Tomorrow he’ll likely stay on the Trans-Canada and head towards Medicine Hat and Saskatchewan.
