The weather forecast last night had us thinking that we might be better off holing up in Sudbury for a second day. Nevertheless we thought that we should try to make some progress even if it was only to the other side of Sudbury. So we got up early only to find that it was raining quite hard at 6:30. We waited until after 8 when the rain eased up a lot. By the time we were halfway across the city, there was no rain and the temperature was about 15C. At Wahnapitae, about 20 km from the Sudbury motel, we stopped at a Subway for one of their breakfast subs. While I was in line, I spoke to a local guy about our trip and how it was the result of Gramie's birthday wish. When we left Subway, the manager said that it was such an interesting story she wanted us to have a coffee on her via the gift card she handed me. I can't believe how nicely we are being treated.
In Sturgeon Falls we bought new pedals for Gramie's bike because the old ones had become slippery and were squeaking. We tried to get a replacement for her bike computer at Canadian Tire but the store was out of them.

I think it was a good decision to stop in Sturgeon Falls because it poured and was windy a couple of hours after we got to or motel room. Riding for 95 km wasn't a big accomplishment but it was a step in the right direction and certainly better than not moving at all and better than we anticipated.
