What strikes fear in the heart of this cyclist? Birds - Day 17 - Regina to Whitewood, SK - 174.47km

Today was a beautiful day for a ride through the prairies... except for the wind which was constantly in my face - this sounds familiar doesn't it? The good thing was I still managed a 5:30pm arrival in Whitewood (leaving early is a good thing). That being said - within the last 10km of the ride I was attacked by birds... dive-bombed would be more accurate, however the attack made me pick up my pace. I immediately thought of Tippi Hedren and Alfred Hitchcock, especially when I realized that it wasn't just one bird, but four of them - and each took their turn dive-bombing me. Not sure what type of birds they were, I suppose I was too scared. I figure everyone would enjoy that story.

The other pics in this post made me chuckle... Enjoy.

Tomorrow I leave Saskatchewan and enter Manitoba... 3 provinces DONE! Saskatchewan has been an amazing part of the country and I will be sad to leave.
