August 3, 2008 - Camrose and Back

I had a few hours Sunday before Louise's folks arrived, so I decided to ride to Camrose and back. It was very windy from the north west (not enough for windsurfing, but enough to really make a difference on my bike. I parked on Hwy 56 in a pullout about 1 mile South of the Haul Road. I rode North past Hwy 13 to Hwy 26, then West to Camrose, then South to Camrose Drive/29 Street. All this way was battling the headwind - very slow going. Then East on Camrose Drive past the Big Valley Jamboree, to Hwy 13. Then East on Hwy 13 to Hwy 56, then back to my van. The ride back was very fast - particularly Hwy 13 - straight down wind. It took over an hour to get to Camrose and less than 1/2 hour to get back.
37km round trip.

Total to date = 426km
