Bike Gaspe Day 21

New Glasgow to Lake Charlotte.  146 of 2537km. From the Travelodge motel we looped back to access the NS-374, whi we followed to its southern
end at NS-7 near Sheet Harbour. The road was actually pretty good for bicycles. There were a few potholes but nothing that we couldn't dodge on our bikes. After about 10 km, the only traffic was trucks with pulp logs and after 40 km we lost those too. While we had to climb over the middle of Nova Scotia,  the vertical wasn't a problem. The major obstacle was the wind, which came from the SW at 25 kph steady with gusts. At Sheet Harbour we talked to some people and decided to go Lake Charlotte a perfect 37 km away.  Somehow reality grew it to 56 km. In any case our dinner was fish and chips at Ralphs Diner on the way to Webbers Motel. As the wind was from the SW it was still a good headwind after we turned west bound.
