I started. And I didn't

The plan was to start biking today.
May 25th.

That didn't happen.

I started early, biking from Cape Spear, the furthest eastward point in North America (wait, where does Greenland count to?) to Dana and Wade's house in St Johns.



It took about two hours, i went about 20 kms, and up and down 4 killer hills, got up 65kms/hr! Eeep.
Yep i definitely did some walking up them, especially Barletts Hill in St. Johns. Preposterous! I almost called a cab.
This is a pic of my first hill, seen from the edge of Cape Spear. Sigh.



That was a great trip, and allowed me time to sort out any kinks with the bike, which i took today to have fixed up. I also caved and bought a handle-bar bag.

So I'll be starting to bike tomorrow morning. Its calling for rain, and maybe some snow up towards Gander.
I may just go live in Gander actually.
