Bike Gaspe Day 29

Shelburne to Yarmouth. 100 of 3025 km. We had a great bike ride today. We had a choice of the 103 or 3 as roads to start the day and opted for the 103 because it would be safer at that time of day. The morning was warm enough and the winds were gentle for the first 2 hours. We had headwinds for only about an hour until we made the turn northward at Barrington. There were a few hills before Barrington but almost nothing afterwards. Thus, the ride up to Yarmouth was quite easy. We took the 3 the last stretch into Yarmouth and were lucky to meet Kerry and Jeanna, a couple from Florida, who were riding a beautiful tandem bicycle up the USA coast through the maritimes, Quebec and Ontario and back to Florida. We arrived at our motel before 2 pm and showed and rested before taking a walking tour of the town. We are staying in the same motel as our neighbors, Hans and Betty, who are driving us home. We are taking the Cat to Portland, Maine and then driving to Kingston.
