Friday 26/1
Chilled out for most of the day. Talked to some 15 - 20 people about my trip in the evening, which was great fun. One of them invited me home and also fixed my bike for me. (look at credits link) .
Saturday 27/1
I was invited to a hockey game today, which will be the first hockey game I have ever been to. Medicine Hat won 7-2. Looked like a war out there, fighting and black eyes. They also announced my name in this game so I had to stand up. Was fun. Invited to a party in the evening. Thoroughly enjoyed my time here.

Hi Rune,
Wow, what an adventure. I wish I had known about your trip when you were in the Seattle area. My loss. I would like to know if you plan on selling any photos of your trip while you are out. You know, you could make a real good profit if you made arrangements for someone to sell them, especially the Wagon In Montana. That is one Cool shot! Keep up the cycling and I'll keep checking the website to follow your travels.
I agree about the photos! Rune, you have some great ones! Maybe you can write a book when you are finished with the trip. Cheers!
hey! my sister, Kaylynn Hohensinn told me all about you and the story she did on you in medicine hat. its amazing what your doing and i hope all goes well for the rest of your trip!
