Wednesday (Day 11) was yet another beautiful riding day with one of our nicest stretches yet from Terra Nova down into Clarenville. It was sunny and warm all day so we stopped for a swim at Thorburn Lake and ate our lunch of turkey sandwiches (thanks yet again Aunt Rowena!). Cruising through Clarenville we stopped at Sobeys to stock up on fresh veggies and cold beverages, and of course eat ice cream, then continued on towards Goobies.
About 10k from Clarenville we spotted a nice river leading into Beaver Pond and although the ground was rocky and uneven we managed to find decent spots for our 3 tents so we set up for the night. Darkness moved in quickly as we ate peachy pork picante with couscous and Greek salad. A heavy mist soon followed so we shared a nightcap and a few laughs before another early bedtime.
