I had a strong tailwind for most of the day so even with a three hour break in Hinton I pulled some big numbers. The weather was pretty good for most of the day but a nasty thunder storm made sure I arrived at the campsite cold and wet. I was going to make mashed potatoes for dinner but there was a pizza across the street calling my name. I feel a bit like a horse to a barn the closer I get the faster I go.

Today was tough day. Strong headwinds again for most of the day. At Whitecourt I called Flip and he came to pick me up. At the same time I rode as hard as I could with the tail wind towards him. I made it to 40 km east of Fox Creek. It is good to be home.
So... so far I've averaged 102 km per day of riding. That is through BC and the Rockies. I'm pretty sure that if I give myself 60 days I could finish the trip up. Only time will tell.
About Me
- Leanna
- I am the great chameleon. I tend to fit in anywhere I go. Some times I’ll blend in, fading into the background but more often I show off my full colours. I have a thing for solo-hiking and cycling relying totally on my knowledge and myself. Standing at the top of a mountain or pass, quiet, reflective solitude in its most glorious form. I love having fun with my friends and family laughing, joking, or consoling as the need arises. I like feeling like the belle of the ball dressed up laughing and dancing. I have a great and supportive family, a ton of good acquaintances but better yet a few excellent friends. My motto is “Life is Good, Live, Laugh and Love.”
