Can you Saskatoon?

Of course you can. Now say it with a Canadian accent. :). Tonight I'm camping just east of Saskatoon. It took me forever to get here because I took a long lunch and stopped at Yorkton to get my bike looked at. It turns out that my chain was shot and luckily they had a replacement. I also broke down and invested in some higher quality rain gear and disposed of my crotchless ones. The new rain gear is great and I feel good for contriubuting to the Canadian economy.

The guys at the bike shop were very friendly and pretty funny too. One of them was trying to sell me on an electrically heated vest by telling me about a recent ride of his through BC where it's "colder than a whore's heart". I guess that pretty damn cold. The shop was good to me and had a maintence guy drop what he was doing to work on bike and get me back on the road.

Its supposed to get down to 6 C tonight, which I think is a little warmer than a whore's heart but still pretty cold. :)

Funny enough Canada has 10x better GPRS service than the US but the roads are a joke. They're fairly well maintained but very small. Thr main east-west trans-Canada road, called the Yellowhead, is a two laner. More land than the US with only 30 million people equals no tax revenue.
