This. Day. Sucked.
Here is the shortlist of crappy happenings:
- Already our longest day at 135km
- The steepest terrain we have had yet. Climb after climb as far as the eye could see.
- The trail was so gravelly that we rode at half of our regular speed
- Rain
- Cold
- Wind
- Rain even in the short bursts of sunlight
- Construction on the Trans-Canada
- Flat tire 3km from our campsite
- Extreme knee, Achilles heel and back pain
- Eating too much right-off-the-highway gross fast food, out of desperation and delirium
Okay, okay, I guess it wasn't alllll bad. Here is the silver linings list:
- Rainbow!
- Double rainbow!
- The long downhill rides (after the big climbs)
- An apparent magnetic force that pushed us up a hill near the end. We were amazed. It was magic.
- Singing Disney songs at the top of our lungs knowing that no one could hear us over the 18-wheelers
- The fact that Mary's flat tire happened in a sunny moment
- $10 cyclist special at our campsite, Provincial Park de la Republique.
- WE MADE IT TO NEW BRUNSWICK!
Latergrams! - there are only two pictures because who has time for photos when the world is beating you down mercilessly?
1) The double rainbow :)
2) Sweet relief as we finally cross into NB
