Cycle Canada, Day 65, July 8/06


July 8/06, Saturday                                                                Day 65                    6433 Kms
Doug & Nikki's, Holyrood, Newf.                                                                            94 Kms                                  ~ 4:20 Hrs
I was up about 6:00 on a clear, bright, windless day. After a bit of thought I chose to not ride back in a vehicle. I felt a bit bad because both Nik and Meagan had come out in separate vehicles, there not being enough room in the truck for 3 adults and 2 dogs. I latched on to Mark and met his folks who were there to greet him and their host at the B&B where they had spent the night. We went back to the B&B for "coffee" that turned out to be a full breakfast and about 3 hours of chat. We also stopped at the Irving about 30 Kms more down the road for a snack.
Doug and Nikki had taken most of my stuff and my trailer so my ride was easier but no faster.
At Nik's we had a couple of beers and Mark showed us how to make pasta and he, Doug and I spent about 90 minutes rolling the dough into correct shapes. It was time consuming but tasty and filling.
Jean came over with his wife, daughter and mother-in-law. Also a propane tank for barbequing the pork chops and a roll-a-way cot for me to sleep on. Jean is so handy. (Cathline, Julliet and ?)
Gnoki (?) pasta
Today's ride took us from Argentia to Holyrood therefore, technically, from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the North Atlantic; across Newfoundland.
