Day 43 Grand Falls to Nackawic

"There's Moncton, Chatham, St John, Campbell....Fredericton ... I've been everywhere " (Stompin Tom Connors)

The Rodeway Inn provided us with a nice hot breakfast to fuel us for the day; I had scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, beans, orange juice, coffee, bagel, waffles, yogurt and seconds. 
We went directly to the Trans-Canada Highway and peddled up hills then coasted down the far side; this was repeated throughout the day. We stopped in Woodstock to buy a new spare tire at Canadian Tire then went to McDonald's to plan the rest of the day over ice cream. Gramie felt strong and suggested that we go to the next logical place, so we carried on to Nackawic. There is only a single B & B so we called to reserve a room. There was no restaurant close to the B&B so we asked them to prepare a meal;  it looked so nice, I insert a picture herein. The other picture shows the nice wide paved shoulder that we have ridden on since entering NB. While the paved shoulder is great for riding, we have seen quite a bit of debris most drink containers and things that have come from vehicle. We joke about the bungy cords. Among the pieces tires, I have noticed embedded wires that probably represents the steel belts. They are exactly the size of the wires that caused two of my flat tires. 
Our distance for the day was about 160 km.
