Cycle Canada, Day 58, July 1/06

July 1/06, Canada Day                                                                              Day 58                 5810 Kms

Camper City campground, Moncton, N.B.                                                                             181 Kms                ~ 7:30 Hrs

Good day. It started with me getting a flat about 12 minutes down the road. After the late-ish start we got it was a bit annoying but howling tail winds and gentle hills made things all right. First 100 Kms = 4:05 Hrs.

We stopped at the Irving Big Stop at exit 433. After 70 Kms without services it was nice to eat. The weather was starting to cloud up and the sun heading for the horizon. We'd already made 160 Kms and considered camping behind the Irving but the wind was still blowing and it seemed a shame to waste.

Twenty more K's got us to Camper City. City is right. The place was big and crowded. It's basically a field. Electronic gate controlled. Run by humourless camping Nazis at $25/night for a tent - no services. Hook-ups are probably in the $40 range. They probably pulled in 4 or $5000 that day.

One wash house with coin-op showers.

With the strong tail wind we are finally above 100Km/day. 5810 K's in 58 days!
