Calgary to Granum (150km's) W/ special appearance from Josh Bressett


This morning I was joined by Josh Bresett, whom I played a lot of hockey with growing up. Josh grew up in Forest Ontario and goes by the nickname “Beast”. I was happy to have him cycle with me! He is working in Lloydminster, SK and made the trek down to visit his friend in Calgary and do a few clicks with me. It has been over four years since we saw each other, so we had lots of catching up to do!


We traveled down hwy 2 and Beast was getting a little sore. He cycled 100km but wasn't sure if he would make it to Granum, so Elyse switched spots with him and finished the remainder of the ride. Elyse has been wanting to cycle so badly because she is getting very bored waiting for me, so it was great to be able to give Josh a break and Elyse some exercise. 

We stopped outside a variety store in Claresholm AB, and Rob from Claresholm Local Press happened to see the van and stopped by to interview us! He knew a lot of people in Claresholm and surrounding area who had Parkinson's and we were pumped that he helped us out!

Josh grabbed 2 large Slushies for the road, and Elyse and I were off on two wheels. The weather was awesome and made for pleasant trip to the smallest town in Alberta. Granum, AB. 

We stayed at the Grandview Recreation Park in Granum and searched the park for some trees to shade us from the sun!
