Down East Event day 3

Some of the bikes for the 70+ cyclists that took part in todays ride.

The Murray Harbour community from where the ride started to day. Todays ride was a short one of 23 km to Wood Islands. Because of doubling back and cycling back to Murray Harbour I logged 50 km for the day. It was a nice day for cycling, sunny with light breeze and a high temp of 14.

Down East event day 2

It was raining when we started at 11:00 AM, These photos were taken near Montague after the rain had stopped and the trail dried out. Some of us tried using a rain poncho but I think we got just as wet. I known I had mud all the way up by back even with the poncho on. As you can see in the photo us decided to just strip down and go.

The poncho's looked different from the rear.
I was the sweep or the one bringing up the rear so could not pass anyone. The trail was hard cycling were it had water laying on it. I was 3 hours and 50 minutes doing the 42 km. One of my slowest rides.

I helped with the Raise A Reader program this morning in Cornwall. At 4:30 I drove to Winsloe and with another TO we cycled to Tracadie Cross and back to Winsloe arriving back at 7:50 PM.
It is now dark at 7:30 so we were using lights from York to Winsloe.
