Sidney, Shady Acres Campground ( N49 54.172 W099 03.317 ) to
Motel One, Winnipeg ( N49 51.424 W097 02.460 )

Another good sleep. It rained a bit overnight but everything was dry by the time I packed up.
Strong winds today, mostly from the west or northwest so most of the day it helped me along.
Manitoba has the worst section of Trans Canada Highway in Canada.

Getting ready to hit the road. In the background are two brothers from Quebec.
They were about my age and left Vancouver with a goal of Quebec City.
There was another cyclist who started in Edmonton and was going to Toronto.
Busy place for cyclists.

The first place on the road for coffee was Portage la Prairie

Got a geocache RedRulezT about 75 km from campsite

Manitoba has to have the worst roads in Canada.
No sholders, sharp dropoff the pavement and just loose gravel off the pavement.
Good thing the traffic was light and the drivers were polite.

Acres of plantings and everything is in a straight line.

Got another geocache OneWay about 115 km from campsite.

Finally arrived in Winnipeg

Beautiful parliament building.

The Great White North Geotour brought me here to gather some information.

I got a tour of the French sector of Winnipeg gathering clues

The area of the final.

I got my number for the Ottawa cache.
Four down and six plus one left. On to Toronto.
Hope Quebec City gets back in business by the time I get there.

As you can see by the clouds and the tattered flags, it looked like another rough night.
I took the opportunity to stay in a motel, thanks to my inlaws in Fredericton.
Bonus, it had laundry service, internet and hot showers. Great choice.
