Day 10: Herbert - Bryson, Jackson & John Wood

This was a rough day. We finally got a headwind after a couple great days that made us think of entering the tour de france, debating Hawaii vs Florida for our first Ironman, and planning what we were going to do with our spare time when we finished this early. That changed today. When we got in to Herbert the weather was reading 43 km/h wind coming from the EAST. We were watching for funnel clouds over the prairies all day, dodging airborne tumbleweeds and just trying not to blow off the road. Exhibit A:
Thankfully we made it in before dark, barely. Trying to get the hang of drafting.
The only restaurant in Herbert has a sign that reads "come in or we both starve" which we felt was accurate. We are likely going to use our rest day we banked in Calgary tomorrow and relax.

PS - Regardless of what you've been told, Saskatchewan isn't flat!
