Alberta Prairie Ride
My brother Don Patterson is cycling x-c fundraising for the Y's.
I acted as pilot car for one leg in central Alberta leaving the city at 5:30 AM Edmonton Alberta to meet up in Killiam for his ride to Provost & beyond to Saskatchewan
In the city for a wedding
Don and Debi managed a quick coffee on my front porch Sunday morning. 
Don and his friend Jim did the first 100 KMs together leaving Monday morning about 8 AM from the Smitty's parking lot in Killiam AB.
Edmonton rain 
was avoided but riding against the wind was a challenge 
Fields of golden canola,
ponds with ducks 
and prairie railway crossings 
from my car window were typical as I waited for the two riders
with pit stops for water and gatorade and snack bars.
Finishing at about 12:30 PM between Czar and Provost Don would continue for his second 100 KMs on his own to spend the night in Unity Sask.
Jim and I drove back to Killiam to pick up Jim's car and I did some visiting in Camrose.
