A shorter but still hilly ride into what is an oil and gas town. Choose back roads to reach the town, which are quiet, but hilly and windy. Very different land use here - mixing farming with oil and gas works. I had initially hoped to stay with someone I know here, but it's not convenient for whatever reason, so I camp close to the town in a park. That's after going to what is probably the largest gym I've ever been in. The rec centre, which has a pool, is sadly closed, so I'm happy that this gym offers a free first day trial. Great sauna and even massage chairs.
Tara, another cyclist I've known through the Internet some years, lives and works nearby. She meets me outside the gym with a kind gift of the some protein donuts, and we agree to meet tomorrow for coffee. Planned a rest day here as legs tired! Don't see anyone riding bicycles in this town. It's a big trucks and SUVs.
