PEDALing Off in Two Directions

Posted by Ken Mahy - 13 September 2010

After a lengthy and fascinating visit to HELP International at Weyburn SK, the PEDAL Team pursued a two-pronged strategy the past few days.

Viera and Justin took a NNW tack to Regina SK and from there journeyed further north to Saskatoon to pay a thank you visit to one of the PEDAL Project's generous contributors and attend a weekend agricultural conference.

Kristi and Garrett, meanwhile, headed towards Medicine Hat AB - straight into a gusty NW wind (replete with intermittent rain) that limited their progress September 11th and 12th.  Fortunately, September 13th dawned clear and sunny with the wind blowing gently from a more friendly SE quarter.  Doubling the distance they had travelled the previous 2 days, they were encamped about 20 km west of Medicine Hat this evening.

Plans for the next few days call for the dual duets to push westward, meeting up again as they approach Calgary - where Garrett's Mom Nancy will be waiting with several CARE packages from their Ontario supporters.
