Day 141 (Rest day): 0 miles, 0:00 hours, Calgary (YHA Hostel)

Had a crap sleep last night. A stuffy and warm hostel room full of snorers. Worked out there's only about another 1500-1800 miles until I get to Mexico. I'd better get my Spanish language tapes out again.

Found a bike shop with a mechanic that looked remarkably like Garth from Wayne's World. However he enthusiastically and competently gave me my granny gears back with the only set of front chain rings that he had left in stock.

Dinner was a six-egg omelette with tomatoes, potato and three sausages on the side. Washed down with dessert; a full block of Cadbury's chocolate and a tub of yoghurt.

Rode South out of Calgary into boring flat fields with strong side winds. A shitty boring, windy day.
