Sam and I were one of the last people to leave camp. In Bathurst we took a little time to ride around the city and rural area. Well really we took a wrong turn or turns and ended up adding 15 km to the planned 149.
Approaching Mirimachi we had to cross a large bridge. There was an alternate route around it but I don't think anyone took it. There was a side walk that was a foot or more above the bridge surface. There was no barrier between the sidewalk and the road. We road on the sidewalk and didn't have any problems with the wind.
For lunch we had an extended lunch at Tim Hortons. They always have very good internet and air conditioning. I tried the new steak chipotle. I wanted to try it the other day but they were out. It was good but I like the chicken one yet.
The rest of the ride was really uneventful. The scenery was also not anything special either. The only services past Miramichi was a restaurant that I learned some of our riders stopped at and said that the ice cream was good.
Tomorrow is a rest day and I am looking forward to putting my feet up and taking it easy.
