This was supposed to be an “easy” day with just 51k to cover, but it ended up being one of our hardest rides yet! While the weather was favourable with sunny breaks and no rain, the head wind was brutally strong all morning. We were quite happy to reach our destination, Aunt Rowena’s cozy cabin in Terra Nova.
Our early-afternoon arrival gave us the opportunity for a hot lunch of turkey dinner leftovers (thanks Aunt Rowena!) and Cathy’s apple chicken curry soup, followed by hot showers and naps. Then is was supper ... Cathy’s curry chicken, butter chicken with rice and naan bread, with chocolate cake and blueberry pie for dessert (thanks again Aunt Rowena!). It’s all about the food!
The rain hit hard this afternoon but should subside in the morning as we continue our ride destined for Clarenville.
