Day 34: Glenboro to Pilot Mound

Knowing the winds were forecasted to be against us we got up early at the school hoping to beat the weather. We made decent speed in the morning and arrived in a quaint town called Glenora for lunch. It was one of the hottest days yet so we supplemented our meal with some cold drinks from the mall, which was more like a well stalked corner store.

Sitting down emoting our lovely lunch and feeling quite happy with our mornings ride we talked about having and an afternoon nap, when a lovely gentleman stopped by and warned us of some thunder storms brewing in the west. We weren't on our bikes for too long when we started to feel a strong wind and dark clouds above us. We stopped just in time to get our rain gear on before buckets of water and hail came down on us. I guess we didn't outrun the weather after all.



We were just outside Pilot Mound and managed to make it to the campground before they it really started to pour. We enjoyed our dinner of macaroni and cheese followed by fresh Saskatoon berry pie from the local bakery under cover!



Stayed tuned to see what the wind and weather is tomorrow...
