I didn't think it would be snowing, but I did think it would be cooler in Canada than it was in South Carolina. Turns out they are having an unusually hot period right now. I will admit that I would rather be hot than cold or wet, but these continuous 90 degree days on the bike are starting to wear me down.
I took off today for a scenic coastal ride in New Brunswick this morning, I am sure it was lovely, but when you are going in and out of sea fog, you really don't see much. I continued on and entered Nova Scotia later today. Right now I am on the lower portion of Cape Breton Island which makes up the northern portion of Nova Scotia. I plan on riding up a d around the northern part tomorrow. I know I haven't done a very good job of keeping my mileage totals up to date, so I will try to remember to do that.
Today's location: Wycomouth, NS
Today's mileage: 330
Total: 2060
Today's photos: The tree with the shoes on it was out in the middle of nowhere. I have no idea what it means, and there certainly wasn't anyone around to ask.
When I entered Nova Scotia, I stopped at the information center and was serenaded by a bagpipe. Actually, I don't think you re allowed to use the words serenaded and bagpipes in the same sentence.
I had a little trouble figuring out what this sign meant, until I noticed it came just prior to all the bridges
A few observations before I sign off:
coming up to Canada, I never even. Considered that I would be in a different time zone, but I am. Atlantic time zone.
The reason the advertised price for gas initially seems so cheap, is because it is priced by the liter, not by the gallon.
Pleasantly surprised to find out that my GPS automatically converts kph into mph. I don't need to know that 110 kph is 68 mph. No mental gymnastics required
