Calgary –
Brooks, AB
Distance: 192 km
Avg. Speed: approx. 30 km/h
Cloudy, breezy/windy, rainy
Yesterday was a long, hard day of riding.
After leaving our great accommodations in Calgary at the SAIT Residence (see
previous post), the Riders headed out for Brooks, AB.
The trek was not only a long ride, but the
weather was grey and cool with light winds, and it rained for most of the day.
We made 3 stops along the way, and after
leaving Calgary at 9 am, the Riders got to Brooks at 6 pm, with 6.5 hours of
total riding for the day.
Thanks to a connection I was able to
make by phoning around, Victory Church of Brooks helped us out by providing
rooms for us at the Heritage Inn & Suites in Brooks. We did laundry,
enjoyed a great dinner in the adjoining restaurant, and spent some time in the
pool and hot tub.
Thank you to everyone for all the
prayers and support! We are looking for places to stay as we travel, so if you
know any friends or friends of friends or family who might be along our route,
let us know!
One prayer request we do have is for the
Riders’ health, and Evan in particular, as his knees and elbows are hurting
him, from the constant riding.
Thank you again for the support! Check out
our website to donate to Ratanak!
