Long day... about 1150 kms. Nice ride, windy at times. The TransCanada Hwy is a mix of old and new and construction. I crossed over 2 time zones today which extended my daylight and riding time. But I waited just a bit too long to get off the road. I pulled into a KOA and it looked like rain, plus the nearby restaurant closed in 1 hour. Well, checking in took too long – slow lady and by the time I got to the campsite it started to blow, then hard rain before I could get the tent up. I gave up and hid soaked in the washroom for it to blow over. When I returned to my party assembled but flat tent... it was wet inside and all around. I was wet, the tent was wet, and some contents got wet. I finally got it up and there was a break in rain and went to dinner. The dryers in the laundry took care of the wet stuff. If it rains all night like that.. it will be a long night.
Earlier, I stopped in Kenora, met a guy at lunch who gave me a lead on a possible job. I will check it out after he sends me the info by email – hope he does. Kenora was a place I stayed for a week in 2004 – still looks about the same,,, and it came back to me as I rode around,
Winnipeg is a PITA to ride near. It blocks the Trash Canada Hwy and has a bypass that takes the long way around. Bad plan IMO.
The TCH road has been very straight and not overly interesting to ride... but I expected that.
Tired, time to sleep, the railway tracks run next to the hwy..... second night of train horns. Blah.
