I didn’t sleep particularly well last night and it reflected on my riding during the day. Before getting on the road however, I had to do laundry and buy groceries. It took longer to get out of town than I expected because the city stretched mostly to the north.
Just outside town I stopped for a break at the Terry Fox memorial lookout spot and took a few pictures. I took my next break around 1:00 and only had a snack because I was still quite full from breakfast (I ate one too many bowls of cereal I think). Just as I was about to leave I met another cyclist who was also heading to St. John’s and stayed a little longer to talk with him. He started from Edmonton and is going at a faster pace than me because he plans to be back in Edmonton by late August.
Because I wasn’t particularly in the mood for biking today (combined with headwinds) I stopped for the day at the next rest area where it started raining on me. I managed to get my tent up with it mostly dry inside still. I spend the afternoon having lunch, taking a nap, reading, and having dinner.
