Today was overcast all day, but very humid and warm with more headwinds throughout the morning. I had to take a lot of breaks because my legs were very tired after the last few long days of big hills, heat, and headwinds. I’m starting to think that I’m not eating enough in the mornings because I often don’t have a lot of energy until after lunch.

Lunch today was at Katherine Cove where I had an extra large lunch and stayed for longer than usual. I rode on to the Agawa Bay Visitors Center where I took another break and wandered around the exhibits. From there, there were a number of other big hills in and out of Montreal River Harbour. Just before leaving that town I bought a half dozen eggs to have with breakfast tomorrow morning (and hard boil a couple for a snack).

I found access to the lake at Alona Bay on an abandoned road blocked by a fallen tree that I was able to push out of the way. I sat on the rocky beach for hours having dinner and reading before heading back up to the flat ground I set my tent on. As I put the fly on my tent, the front pole that holds up the doorway of the tent snapped. Luckilly that one isn’t too important and I can still make partial use of it until I get to another MEC to get it replaced.
