July 27 - Day 82 - Bathurst 119km

Friends Jarka and Patrick.  We spent a few days together in Northern Ontario.  Last saw each other in the bike shop in Saul St Marie.  Nice to spend the evening together and catch up.  They brought wine and Brie….yummy.  

Arriving in the campground last night

An art installation in Campbellton

Au revoir le Québec…..à la prochaine 

I had a tourtière for breakfast.  😀

Hello everyone….another province done.  I entered New Brunswick this morning and another time change, I’m now 3 hours ahead of Alberta time.  

I had a slow start to the day….slept in, then I stopped for a good breakfast before getting too far.  It was a hot day….30C which isn’t really all that hot, but when you’re out in the sun all day, without much shade…it’s hot.  Last night I slept in my thermal underwear because it was so cold….and today - hot!!  

It was also really windy….it was 25 gusting to 43…mostly cross wind, but a bit of headwind, and a short bit of tailwind.  Because I was following the coast line, and curving a lot, that changed how the wind was hitting me.  

I stopped at Tim’s for some iced drinks, but within 30 min, the ice had melted and they were warm.  I stopped at two stores for more water and drinks….i think I drank about 3L today which is a huge amount for me, and another 1.5L in the campground tonight.  With the time change I got here around 7:30pm, and the sun sets at 9….so I quickly drank some water, set up camp and had a shower before it got dark,  

Tomorrow it should be a bit cooler, and I will be inland all day.
