Day 2

Day Two - got up a little late (8:30), and realized that being on a bike trip doesn't mean I'll lose the habit of ignoring my alarm clock. Took too long getting out of camp - wasn't on the road until 10:30 - need to fix that.


Day two was HOT, and the hills were killing me...I actually walked up half of one of them. But, it was a good day - saw Dale (Miss for any students reading) Peltola just before Peterborough - she and Michelle were on the way to a BBQ - great day to sit around and enjoy BBQ and a beer - not so good for biking. After that, stopped in at the lift locks for half an hour. Then, off again. Drove by a Subway where I thought about stopping for lunch - didn't...which was a mistake. Too long before the delicious lunch I did have - I was out of gas the rest of the day.

Lift Locks

Stopped about 15 km futher down the road at an awesome park in the middle of nowhere - swam in the river, read, talked to a guy from Halifax - he gave me a delicous local plum - then back on the road for a few last hours of torture.

Finally made it to Ferris Provincial park - had a terrible attempt at making pasta and chili...too much pasta, not enough delicious chili :( Then, to bed before 11.
