We made it to the ferry with a half a hour to spare. John and I did the 73 kms in 3 hours despite the on and off headwind. On the ferry most grabbed something to eat at the cafeteria. It wasn't bad considering it was from a ferry. By the time we had finished eating and talked a bit the 1.5 hour ride was over and we off loaded our bikes from the ferry.
We skipped going into Pictou to see the Hector. A replica of a ship that brought immigrants to Canada. There are a few of us that are happy to pass on the sightseeing and have more time at camp to rest.
The last part of the ride we had a really nice tailwind and the terrain was rolling. We were able to make really good time and get to camp before most riders. Once there we did the usual. Matt and I made a trip to the office for ice cream.
I spent the next couple of hours before diner with my feet up and falling in and out of consciousness. We are in the last stretch of days where we ride 9 days in a row with no days off. The day after tomorrow we ride the Cabot trail.
