Day 13. Wabamun to Sherwood Park. May 10. 69 km bike, 25 km bus, 94 km total.

I hoped that today would start differently from the previous few days but it wasn't in the cards. It was below zero and snowing lightly when we awoke. So we dithered and didn't rush to get on the road after a basic continental breakfast at motel. We got back onto Hwy 16 and cruised along toward Edmonton until we veered onto Hwy 16a because it took us through Stony Plain and Spruce Grove. We stopped at a bike shop (Mud, Sweat and Gears) and picked up another inner tube to replace the one that gave out yesterday.

We continued on into the city where we found the bus terminal at the West Edmonton Mall. There we loaded our bikes on the bus bike rack for the first leg to Clairview. Then we changed to another bus boundary for Abbotsfield. From Abbotsfield we took some bike paths, which took us across the North Saskatchewan River into Sherwood Park. Once we cleared the river and were securely in easy reach of Hwy 16 East we took a room at Super 8. Today we biked 69km and covered about 25km on bus.

 

Snowed last night in Wabamun.
