Hello Manitoba! Ride day 23 has taken us across the border from Ontario into Manitoba, without the predicted lightning and thunder showers. Happily! After our pic-nic lunch at a very nice border park and information centre, the landscape became very flat, with a slight Westward tilt - a marble with a guidance system would have rolled all the way to Hadashville, our stop for the night! Just before arriving at the Riverside Motel, we saw an enthusiastic billboard for Sophie's Ukrainian restaurant, which was about 4Kms beyond the Motel. Fung, the Motel owner generously talked us out of bicycling there and suggested we get take-away. B watched out for motel guests, while Y and Fung zipped to pick up what turned out to be fantastic borscht, cabbage rolls, kubassa, potato pancakes and perogy. Yum! The quality of the highway plummeted today, just after we saw a sign that said 100Kms to Winnipeg. It was unnerving except for the gracious drivers who gave us room to ride on the broken, pot-holed road edge. We anticipate the same until Winnipeg, but are wishing for better.
