Five Days

We have now ridden five days, and are in Dauphin which is our half way point in which we receive a break, and because of some crazy luck we got two days off instead of one. We left on Tuesday and went to Selkirk and the next day to Hnasa then to Ericsdale and to the Narrows. All of these days were fine. We went about 80 kms a day on average and I was fine with that. Then came the terrible day five. We were going to stay in Ste.Rose But there were tornado warnings every were and therefore my dad decided just to go straight to Dauphin. I remember I was already feeling a bit off that day in the morning but I decided just to suck it up and ride my bike. But this day, I was ready to call it quits when we hit a hundred kilometers in Ste.Rose, I don't know how well you Guys know this area of Manitoba, but its over 50 more kilometers to Dauphin from there. So we went for it. That was a lot of pain. I'm pretty sure we did over 160 kilometers that day and let me tell you I was freaking sore! My thighs hurt so much I could barely walk and my butt wasn't doing to well either! But my thighs! Well I had a good soak in the bath and was very surprised when I woke up the next day to find them barely hurting at all. Other than that we are all fine. We're heading out to Clear lake tomorrow which it about 80kms away. I havent gotten burnt yet but I am working on a pretty sweet sandal tan and my nose is just worn out from being in the sun all day for five days. And my butt... I am surprised to say isn't at all like I thought it would be. It barely hurts at all. A little bit when I get off and get back on again, its a little bit tender but I can handle that. Over all its been pretty fun. I basically just eat and drink whatever I want without feeling guilty because I feel I deserve 3 cokes in a day when its plus 31 out and I have biked over 100 km. So I guess I've told you al enough. I will post again probably when we reach Virden where my aunt lives, in a couple of days. So thats it.
