Day 24 (July 26th)

Brandon to Starbuck, MB

I was up at a fair hour, had breakfast and said my goodbyes to Jenna and Scott.
The forecast called for rainshowers and a thunderstorm and I decided I'd ride until the weather was poor enough to justify stopping for a nap. Aside from a light drizzle, the weather held off and I never did get that nap.

I headed South from the city towards Highway 2, the Red Coat Trail, in the hopes of avoiding the TransCanada. Highway 2 ended up being mostly without a paved shoulder and cracks that ran the width of the road made for a bumpy ride. Traffic was mostly courteous, though, so no real complaints.

As darkness fell, I pulled off the road and set up my tent in the trees that bordered a golf course, pet a kitty-cat that walked up, ate, and went to sleep.


Route: N on 3rd St, E on Victoria St, S on 1st St, W on Patricia St, S on Hwy 10, E on Hwy 2
