Alex encountered some stormy weather earlier in the day and phoned me to ask about any weather warnings in the area. There were some severe thunderstorm warnings for Kenora, ON so I guess he was seeing the tail end of that storm.
Alex eventually made it to a campground near Rennie, Manitoba tonight, where he met up with 7 other cyclists, including Meagan and Lisa, the girls he’d biked with for a while in B.C. They’d taken the train and hitchhiked for part or their trip so it’s kind of a coincidence that they all met up again – that campground must be a hot spot for cyclists! I guess there isn’t much else 125 kilometers east of Winnipeg :). They’re having fun watching a movie and ordered in some pizza.
Ontario is definitely within reach for tomorrow – he’s only about 40 kilometers away from the border.

Hi Alex – great to meet you in Rennie. The pizza’s were a life saver! Maybe catch up with you later somewhere in the Maritimes? Post that photo of the 8 of us, and I will copy to our website and link to yours. Hope for tail winds – Dave.
