Intermission

Taking today as a rest/prep day. Booked a second night in the hostel, then took off to get everything I need to ship my bike. I settled on Thunder Bay as a good spot to pick back up; I should reach lake Superior after my first day of riding. I'll be shaving 1200km off my route, but I'm still feeling pretty good about covering 6300km total.

Covered most of downtown Regina running errands on foot: groceries, used book store for next book in Dune series, took my shorts in to get the shamois sewn back in (not impressed), and got a bike box from a local shop as well as a pedal wrench, then made my way back to the hostel to try my hand at bike disassembly. Turns out I'm pretty good! Got it all taken apart with the help of directions on the iPhone in about an hour, and packed tight in another thirty. Great success! Catching a bus out at 1030am tomorrow morning, hopefully everything makes it in the same number of pieces as were packed, and putting it all back together goes as smoothly as taking it apart.
