Sometime last Sunday, PEDAL Across the Americas crossed the provincial boundary into Manitoba - a major milestone on their journey considering the sheer size of the Ontario - especially when viewed from the seat of a bicycle.
From there, they pressed onward to their first major stop - Prairie's Edge EcoVillage. Here they plan to park the bikes for a week or so and volunteer their efforts in the fields and around the village generally in exchange for room and board. There is a small guest cabin on the property but also lots of space to set up tents - which won't have to be taken down, packed up and then pitched again for the next several nights!
Prairie's Edge is located about 60 km ENE of Winnipeg near the community of River Hills - roughly 50 km from the Ontario border. Hopefully one of the PEDALers will be able to blog about their experiences here soon - when they reach Winnipeg if not before.
