After such a great day we wanted another one but that was not to be. Saskatchewan is not flat, well not yet anyhow or in the area we are in. Many, many people have been telling me how table top flat it is but they haven't tried cycling. The land is flat compared to the mountains obviously but there is always a slight uphill or downhill and sometimes not so slight. The wind was not our friend today and that most certainly didn't help the cause. We were both trying very hard to stay awake and battle with our minds. For me it wasn't the physical part that was hard but the mental part as it was very tough to keep thinking positive thoughts. We got through it in the end and the small town of Outlook was very nice and when I can upload some pictures you can see how nice. The propane we bought back in Drumheller was the wrong sized bottle and we haven't been able to find the right size anywhere since as the towns we are going through are very small and don't have camping shops. So for this reason we are mainly eating in the small gas station restaurants, which are cheap and surprisingly good. The restaurant in Outlook was no different except it wasn't run by a friendly Chinese couple. Our new favourite thing to do on our rides is to have a breakfast part 2 and these types of restaurants have been fantastic and seem to be in every little town.
