Tuesday was a long day....
Got up and packed up camp on the eastern border of Manitoba and started my drive across the prairies. Once you get past Winnipeg the landscape starts getting very flat. I also noticed that storms can be seen from a long distance. I was lucky that most of the storms went on each side of the TransCanada Hwy so I only had a little bit of rain and did not have to break out the heavy duty raingear. The scenery was most the same...lots and lots of farm land and grain elevators. As you get towards the western side of Saskatchewan the landscape starts to be rolling and more interesting. My last gas stop was in SK was in Swift Current. I still had a few hours of daylight left and decided to try and get as close to Calgary as possible and Medicine Hat was the best choice from the time I had remaining.
Arrived in Medicine Hat Alberta at 11:00pm local time.
A 1200km day!!!
After a quick 200km sprint in the morning , Wednesday is scheduled to be a bit of a day off in Calgary. I need to have the bike checked over by a BMW mechanic at Blackfoot BMW Motorrad. I will also need to change tires for the trip north.
