Lethbridge to Bow Island. We left Lethbridge at 11 AM and headed down the road to Medicine Hat. We have changed the planned route to avoid going directly thought the Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park. We met 2 cyclists on the route who had gone through Cypress Hills and they lost their third companion when his bike was destroyed by the gravel roads. Since we both have road touring bikes we decided to play it safe and stay on the paved roads. Unfortunately we will have to go on the Trans-Canada which we were hoping to avoid. David, our host from Lethbridge accompanied us for the first half day and then he returned to Lethbridge. Near Tabor we saw two farms with strange looking Alberta Beef. We carried on to Bow Island, where we camped at the municipal park. Hallelujah the camping was a success. Since we are saving so much money by camping we ate out at a Chinese buffet. What a great way to avoid the mosquitos. We slept OK and woke up warm and dry.

Hi Tim n Tim,
happy to see that you found a place to camp on Sunday.
It was great to see you in Lethbridge, and to ride along for a small portion of your journey.
Rock on dudes!

Travel safe.
Tim and Tim , was concerned when I saw no blog comments for a couple of days. Rumour had it you had turned around, were heading wesy and there was a temporary spike in beer prices locally.
Great photos, loved the furry giraffs. Take care.

Hi there, Tim (Baker, that is). I have been following your trek across Canada with great interest. The photographs are superb; what magnificent scenery you have witnessed. Beverley and I will be leaving Pointe-Claire on September 1 and travelling in the opposite direction, only on four wheels instead of two.
Joan is doing her usual superb job at school with events like the Volunteer Tea and Convocation. It's a busy time of year. I will continue to follow your progress. You are very inspiring, to be sure.
Sincerely,
Norm Horner
