Today was predicted to be hard and we had some tough head wind to deal with. There were constant climbs and wooded areas which meant no services. We (Ron Michael, Keith, Justine and I) left camp around 7.15 am as we wanted to arrive in camp early. We were invited by Michael and his family to spend the rest day with his family and we had motivation with us.
We rode at a decent pace and took a bio break in Bathurst at 20 km and then pushed on Hwy - 8. We stopped for a bio break at a gast station and I had 1/2 L of chocolate milk, a PBJ sandwich and a banana. we continued on highway all the way until Miramichi, which we reached around noon time. I had to visit a bike shop and got my derailleur cable and housing replaced and tightened a few cones on my rear wheel which had a bit of side play. I went to tim Hortons and got 1/2 L of chocolate milk
We got back on the road from there on and the terrain was very gentle and flatter and we rode at a very nice pace. After a brief bio break, we started and in less than a few km's i hit a big rock on the side of broken road it flew a few inches and hit my shins. Not much pain, but in a few minutes i noticed i had a flat front tire. Upon inspection i found a pinch flat and changed the tube. Within few minutes we were back on road and reached camp around 3.45 pm. I had a chocolate Sundae ice-cream while waiting for the truck as they had some trouble on road and notified campground of them being late.
I packed up my belongings and other stuff that i wanted to clean and Nicole (Michael's wife) came to pick us all up. We came in to Shediac and had a wonderful dinner with veggie lasagnia, various salads, fantastic cake with fresh fruits and other munchies.
