Day 96 - 6th September, Taber - Lethbridge, 44.92 miles

Ráno nakupujeme niečo pod zub, potom raňajkujeme v parku, stretávame Cliffa, učiteľa na dôchodku a celkom dobre si pokecáme. Cestou z Taberu do Lethbridge sa pretekáme s oblakmi a dažďom. V Lethbridge sa motáme hore dole, asi tri krát prechádzame centrom, naháňame cykloobchod a wifi, ale nakoniec zdarne kupujeme nové reťaze na biky, Baške nový stojan, bo jeden to starých sa len tak zničoho nič zlomil. Píšeme email SJ a okukávame najdlhší železničný most na svete (taký ten typicky typ “a lá divoký západ“ s množstvom pilierov) klenúci sa ponad rieku starého muža. Potom, keď už sa konečne chceme vytrepať von z Lethbridge nás zastavujú obchody a potreba ešte niečo dokúpiť a dať si večeru. Pred zúfalým bicyklovaním do tmy nás zachraňujú Caroline & Chris, manželia, ktorí sa zastavujú na kus reči. Takže sa opäť vraciame späť do mesta a spíme na ich záhrade.

Morning shopping, than breakfast in the Taber's city park, good discussion with Cliff, retired teacher which we met in the park. Rode to Lethbridge was a competition with rain. In Lethbridge we were looking for bike shop, after we got in the middle of town we met one outdoor family and they showed us were is some bike shop. Only problem was that it was on the other end of the city. So we returned, bought new chains, I changed chain on Baška's bike, then we saw old style railroad bridge (longest bridge of this type in the word) through the huge Old Man River canyon and wrote some emails to SJ. Than, finally following Scenic Drive S. with nice views into canyon, we got on the Hwy #5 and were on the way out of the town but stopped for some grocery. There we met nice couple (Caroline & Chris), they were very excited about our trip, but also concerned where are we going, now when the night is close. And because they were really awesome after short discussion they invited us to they house. We were really glad, it was dark already and nearest camp miles away. So we returned back to Lethbridge and spent night in Caroline & Chris's backyard.
