Biking 
Saturday, June 23, 2007, 11:21 PM - Biking
Well, we've been doing some biking around town. We basically never take the car and we bike everywhere. We bike to the grocery store for groceries (yes, bringing a gallon of milk home can be interesting), to the car store (joe's been working on the RV) and bunches of other places. We've gone on a few random bike rides, just for exercise. Just like today. Went on a 10 mile ride today. A hot, hard 10 miles.. Well, on the way back was a lot of downhill, which helped, but that sun was a bit toasty today. :)
Don't know when we're heading out yet...

Medicine Hat

Arrived in Medicine Hat, Went for a bike ride along the city's trails, Good size bluffs all over the place, desert ontop, green grass below. I took a "short cut" to get to Miranda and noticed that i had just run over cactus!!!!
OMG dummy. (they have cactus in Canada!!??) Anyways, 5 miles into the ride.. Pffffttttt... Flat tire!! .. so we walk about a mile and find a bike shop that's open!! get it fixed right up, and off again! 5 miles farther, all the way to the other side of town... Pfffffffttttt..... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.... Must have missed a tiny cacti present. Luckily i asked a city bus driver and he took pity on us and let us bring the bikes into the bus (no racks) dropped us off within a mile of the same bike shop.... Yeehaw.. . Then as we were leaving, My shifter Cable... SSSNNNNAAAAPpPPPpppp!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... couldn't believe it, went right back and turned out a bolt just had to be tightened.... hopefully we make it back to the RV, as we're still about 3 miles from it... Found internet on a small curb island. Think it's enough biking for today.

Off to Dinosaur Park tomorrow!!

Riding Mountain National Park 
Monday, August 14, 2006, 03:52 PM - Biking
After taking a morning ride around Brandon,MB
we decided to drive up to Riding Mountians National Park. Miranda was really excited for a real shower, So we stayed at the main campground in wasagaming. Went for a LONG bike ride down hiking trails (23miles) in search of "Whirlpool Lake". Turned out to be swampy and no moving water once we finally got there!! Upon arriving home that night, went for a swim in clear lake, and Took a nice hot shower.
