Since we were in a campground last night, we didn’t want to walk up the neighbours, so we took our time getting going this morning. By 8:45 a.m. I was cycling the 11 km back to Hwy 6. As I went along, the hills intensified and I had a headwind. A lot of the roadway is bordered by forest and at one point, I saw a “Bicycle Rest Stop” but it was on Black Bear Lane, so I didn’t stop. Brian saw a bear eating blueberries, about 1 km away!! Occasionally there would be a break in the trees and I could see Prince Edward Island across the Northumberland Strait. In Tatamagouche, I rode past the Tim Horton’s
Children’s Camp. All in all, it was turning into a pleasant day. Earlier cloud cover broke into bright sunshine. There wasn’t a shoulder on the road, but motorists were careful to get by me and there were no tractor/trailers. I finally made it to Pictou around lunchtime. After lunch, I went back through a roundabout to get to Hwy 106. After 11 km, I took Hwy 104 straight into New Glassgow. Total today 101 km.
