We left Calgary, headed east towards Strathmore then north towards Drumheller. We cycled towards the Prairies and the scenery changed from 'mountains' to 'skies', big 'skies' and clouds.
The mountainous roads of the Rockies were replaced by long long low hills that we steadily pedalled for an age. When cycling, you just pick a spot on the horizon and head for it.
In the late afternoon, isolated thunderstorms and dark skies pass all round us. Thankfully our luck was in and we stayed dry. However, as we approached Drumheller an absolutely fierce wind hit us and nearly blew us over whilst travelling down a 9% grade. The stormy skies overhead made up our mind - no camping tonight!
