Cycle Canada, Day 66, July 9/06


July 9/06, Sunday                                                 Day 66                 6488 Kms
Nikki McGie's, Holyrood, Newfoundland                                            55 Kms                       ~ 2:30 Hrs
Meagan made us a nice breakfast of bacon, pancakes and strawberries before Nikki had to go to work.
Doug, Mark and I started shortly afterward and made such good time on the first 20 Kms that we decided to take a longer route to "Mile 0." When we got there Mark's folks were waiting and his dad took some pictures. We waited around for some media-types to show up but after the appointed time had come and gone no one appeared. I suggested that Doug use his 'in' with The Independent to place an article that we would write. We did an interview on the mini-disc and will have to get a photo from Mark as my camera chose that moment for the batteries to fail.
I spent the rest of the afternoon wandering along Water St. and shooting video as Mark and his folks had their things to do and Doug went to work. Later we went to South Brigus and looked at a piece of property that Nikki is interested in buying.
Finishing Mileage ~ 8384 Km
Starting Mileage ~ 1835 Km
