After five days of cycling and almost 700km we feel we have earned a rest. We were going to take just the one day but we had so much to do on the first day we decided a day of proper rest was needed. Regina is a small city but very nice and friendly. There is a beautiful park area with a man made lake, which I have pictures of and will put them up once we get to a computer that allows us to upload pictures, so maybe when we get to Winnipeg. There was a steel drum band playing on the band stand as part of a Multicultural day and a BBQ going with free hot dogs and burgers for everyone. A bonus for us as this meant we didn't have to go and buy dinner.
So we have mainly been relaxing and eating good food as the hostel has a self catering kitchen. Our legs are feeling great and raring to go. The problem now is the weather forecast is for very strong winds coming from the east. Winds of up to 45kmph with gusts of 6o. We are going to try and make it to Fort Qu'Appelle, which is around 40 - 50km away, but if the winds are as strong as they are forecast then that will be like doing 170km on a good day.
