Day 085 - Carnduff to Estevan

What the cycling gods granted yesterday, they collected with interest today! There was a very stiff headwind all day, which I did not enjoy a bit. In addition, all the museums along the way were closed today.

Not all was bad, however, as the roads remained good, and it was sunny and warm. Overall, it was just a "getting from Point A to Point B" type of day.

Idle drilling rigs just outside Carnduff.

The first horse ranch I've seen in Canada this trip.

Hauling away what's good and flaring off what isn't. The flame gives a hint what the wind was like.

This field of canola was particularly bright.

Getting ready to drop into the Moose Mountain Creek valley. It was a long 6-8% climb getting out.

The Jewish cemetery behind this marker is now a historical site.

The only train I saw today was very short.

The Bienfait Coalfield Museum is open M-F. Today was Sunday :-(

Today's ride: 57 miles (92 km)
Total: 4,057 miles (6,529 km)
