Lake Charlotte to Hammonds Plains. 80 of 2617 km. Today we made it to Blair and Krista's where we will spend a few days visiting, enjoying the family and resting our bodies. When we walked to the restaurant for breakfast this morning, it wasn't really raining but there were droplets in the air. Afterwards when we started to ride, it had started to rain. It rained intermittently all day long, some times it rained hard, some times it rained lightly and sometimes it even stopped. We started out on Hy 7, then switched to Hy 107, which became 7 again as we entered Dartmouth. Hy 7 was the safest in that it had at least a small paved shoulder throughout its length and its hills weren't as steep albeit they were longer. Through Dartmouth the road got quite busy; between the traffic and the rain the ride was difficult. Eventually we stopped at a Tim Hortons to warm up and dry out a bit over a bowl of hot chili. The hot food did the trick because Susie fell asleep after eating. We arrived in Hammonds Plains about 14h30, which gave us lots of time before attending Mattie's highland dance recital. We won't be doing much bicycling for the next few days.
