After a quite night in and a decent sleep I awoke to warmth and blue sky. Seizing the moment I snaffled bike rack and gave the Trek a good clean and degooed the chain ready for next week and then after a healthy cereal breakfast headed into town with some of the group to see what Regina had to offer.
First call was the home of Canadian Football League Club The Saskatchewan Rouge Riders, who in advance of a big home game tomorrow were conducting a “Captains run” to which the public have access. The Rough Riders are the number 1 fascination for those in and around Regina and Saskatchewan and the whole town grinds to a halt on match day. They have a 35/50000 stadium and the games go out live on Local and National TV.
We got straight into the ground and sat and watched as the players went through the drills fro tomorrow’s game and then as they went through the press calls managed to talk to a few and get a few signatures and photos from the key players including one who used to go to a School that Tom Rogers used to be deputy head at. We visited the shop and I bought Lois a shirt (now signed) and we all bought team socks to wear tomorrow as we leave Regina.
After a fleeting visit to a bike shop to restock on drinks etc I headed back to camp and spent half an hour or so on Skype with Lois and Zoe. The rest of the day will be spent sorting clothes ready for next week and taking advantage of the great showers and hot weather before we crash into next week’s riding.
Dinner was a quiet affair with some leftover Tuna Macaroni Bake and then an early night, which proved to be a late night as it was too hot to sleep.
Onwards and Upwards
