The first rest day, July 2.

It was so nice to sleep in a real bed and not wake up in a tent. Oh and sleeping in was definitely a bonus as well. We usually don't get up too early which usually leaves us riding during the hottest part of the day. I don't think we will make that mistake anymore.

We ride over to the University for a BBQ and say hi to everyone that is and was involved with the planning and executing of our trip. It was great! I didn't expect there to be so many people, the food was great and it was really wonderful to chat about our experiences so far and our expectations for the rest of the summer.

We had planned to head to Medicine Hat tomorrow but I think I just need one more day to give my bod a chance to recuperate.
