The highway rolls over gradual hills that climb in and out of river valleys for miles. The road ascends and descends, rarely reaching a level plain. As soon as we reach the bottom of the hill and cross over the river, we are sure to head back up the hill on the the other side. Repeat.
Once again we had a simple twist of fate after a thunderous night spent in the rain. We road out of perth-andover in the cloudy skies, and continued on our daily up and down climbs, slowly drying our bone-drenched bodies. The day carried on, and we finished our 100kms. Not a km more, and not one less.
Hoping for a drier and maybe some soothing libation, we called the folks at The Best Western in Woodstock New Brunswick. They were generous towards our cause, and took it upon themselves to house for the evening. We were grateful. They gave us coffee and tea, and a nice complimentary breakfast, and we spent the evening on the patio telling strangers how far we had come. It doesn't really sink in until you tell somebody that you just road there on a four man bike from Victoria.
We have one week left in the trip, but it feels like we still have miles to go. A couple hundred of them actually.
