2008-09-07 - Birtle

Our Team has had a rough ride. The weather has not cooperated. A severe headwind has made the ride interesting to say the least. Saturday night was spent in Neepawa, Manitoba. They learned that Neepawa was the home of famous Canadian Author, Margaret Laurence. If you are like me, you will remember struggling through "The Stone Angel" in school.

The team arrived in Birtle Sunday night, and are looking forward to the school presentation Monday!! That's 320 kilometers from Winnipeg.
