Today was another fairly easy ride. There was a good tailwind the entire way to Gull Lake. That was definitely a good thing since no sooner did I get my tent set up than it started to rain. It rained lightly for a couple minutes and on my way back from getting groceries it just got harder. I managed to jump back in the tent right before the sky fully unleashed its fury for about an hour and a half. Thankfully it blew over and this evening looks like it should be okay. I just really hope I don't have to pack up camp in the rain.

The ride to Taber went pretty well. The roads were wet from the previous day and even though it looked like I was going to get trapped in another storm, it never ended up happening. The crappy weather and rough roads the previous days did some damage to my trailer wheel bearings. I ended up stopping in at a shop in Lethbridge where they kindly gave me a stand to use and let me fix everything up. By the time I got out of the shop it was getting late and the weather was starting to look pretty crappy. I made it into Taber around 6:15 and found a camp spot just outside of town.

It feels like I might be starting to break into this ride now. After a good meal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner I finally have energy left at the end of the day. It also really helps that I had the fortune of getting in touch with some old acquaintances from Nelson who are very generously letting me stay at their house tonight, fed me, and have been exceptionally giving. Thanks Mike and Madi.
