This morning I got a late start because yesterday was tough. Today was another century ride. I was up had scrambled eggs and out of camp by 7:15. I hadn't been able to check on the weather last night before I went to sleep because there wasn't very good cell coverage at the camp. Today did get up to 35 which we have experienced but we haven't also had to contend with the humidity.
There was some excitement at breakfast as a number of squirrels were running around the feet of the cooks and causing one person in particular a lot of stress because of the threat of rabies.
At around 29 km in we crossed into the Atlantic watershed from the artic watershed. Pictured below is Arlen and me. A number of other riders also were at the sign at the same time including Ben the driver. We had crossed over the pacific to the artic watershed when we crossed into Alberta from BC.
Some riders stopped to look at Kakabeka falls at 137 km. I skipped it but managed to get a picture of it from Kerry who has seen it many times. I just wanted to ride the last 30 kms into town so I could relax after a long day. Arlen was just passed the falls and I found him eating his favorite food, ice cream.
The day ended with us settling into our dorm rooms at Lakehead University. After we settled in when went over to a townhouse where the kitchen crew was preparing dinner. Chicken with red sauce and salad was served and it was really good.
We lost a hour today as we crossed I it the eastern time zone just before Thunder Bay. It will be difficult to get to sleep because of the time change and this is the first time we have not slept outside for 3 weeks.
