Day 25: Davidson to Regina 144km


Today was to be the last of our five days of long distances and the sun was shining and the wind was at our backs. We didn't set off till 1.30pm as we had laundry to do and we just wanted a little break after yesterday. This was the easiest ride so far as we were just cruising towards Regina at a comfortable speed of 30kmph. We even stopped for over an hour and had a sandwich and some cookies and we still made it into Regina by 8.00pm. We are planning to take 1 day off in Regina for certain but we may take two as we have a lot to do and by backside needs a good rest. We arrived at the hostel in Regina and it was perfect, located downtown and very clean. We hooked up with some other guests in the hostel a guy from Toronto, a guy from Quebec and a Chinese guy and went out for a bar meal and sank a few beers. a very satisfying end to 5 days of decent cycling. A well deserved rest I think. If we had the wind at our backs everyday through the prairies we would be flying. We can't control the weather but i feel we are making great progress and having an excellent time.
