North Battleford to Saskatoon
ByI cycled from North Battleford to Langham Saskatchewan which was over 100 kilometers and that equals to 60 plus miles. I was given the location of the RV Park by several people in route to the town.
The campground was full so the owner allowed me to camp on his property and returned my registration fee. He also invited me to the weekly pot-luck that night. After eating I introduced myself and gave my testimony. The atmosphere afterwards was one of blessing for me the RV park owners and members.
I left the camp the next morning in route to Saskatoon on Thursday the nineteenth 2010. I arrived at the information center around 1pm, after receiving directions from the representative I cycled downtown and stopped by City Hall, the mayor was not in. I got information about a local hotel and secured a room for the night. The young man on the desk was excited about what I was doing and sowed seed into God’s Ministry, “The Holy Spirit is Here” The next day Friday, I located a restaurant that made Saskatoon Pie:) the name of the restaurant was Fuddruckers. I was told about Saskatoon Pie by a retired police officer from Saskatoon while cycling in Haines Junction.(which was a 1,000 miles in the past).
The mayor of Saskatoon called me on Friday and apologized that he was not able to meet with me. He was gracious and wished me luck on the rest of my trek. I cycled back to the hotel got a room for the night and prayed and talked with my wife about what I should do next and had a good nights sleep. I only cycled 25 miles from Saskatoon to Dundurn, while cycling I had the opportunity to minister to some persons at a gas station. Cycling out of a large city is always difficult because of not being allowed to cycle on the freeway. I have to find parallel routes to cycle until the freeway becomes highway again. I was happy to talk to the “Spirit Riders” ministry group at the Highland Church during their Orientation Meeting on Saturday. It was exciting to me to know they were continuing to carry the mission of the Spirit Riders which is to: First establish a relationship with the Lord, love and pray for each other, learn the rules of the road and cycling safety and to have fun while doing it. My trek ended about 3pm in Dundurn where I secured campgrounds and retired for the day. I will plan to go to church on Sunday. Thank you for the prayers and support from everyone that is in contact with me on this trek. Spirit Rider Out.
Hope you enjoy your day of rest today, Lowell. May it strengthen your
body and may the Lord give you guidance on the parallel route.

Hi Lowell,
I trust the folks at Dutch Cycle in Regina were able to repair your bike and you are safely on your way. I have been reading your blog with great interest. It fills my heart with joy to see how people open themselves to you. Although we cycled together for such a short distance I was able to see you are an open and caring individual. May the wind always be on your back (in Saskatchewan we always have lots of wind but it’s not often on your back).
