Headwinds made today very mentally challenging. Though we were following the St. John River (I think), and going generally down hill, I'm sure we pedalled hard for at least six and a half of the seven hours in the saddle today. Doug said it was the first time he wanted to quit, lay down in a ditch and die.

Tonight makes 8 full weeks on the road. We've moved faster than I thought we would in one way but it looks like we won't make the 100 Km/day I thought before we left.

I figure about 7 more days to Sydney. If we don't get some favourable winds along the way it will be a hard and depressing week. We've had 4 hard days in a row and I'm already feeling the strain.
