FML

So, 30 kms before I get to Port-aux-Basques there's a sign:

Wind Warning: Next 20 kms
Gusting winds in excess of 200kms/hr possible. Trailers and Campers
Proceed With Caution

It was like when Andrew almost took off of Signal Hill like Mary
Poppins, but worse.
AND it was raining.
Before this I'd only Thought Nfld was trying to kill me. Now I'm
certain.

I walked my bike (with a good deal of effort and expletives) for at
least 7 of those kilometres.

  1. Way to Ryan! I would have called for someone to pick me up by now, we're all proud of you...however Olivia and Ella think that riding across Canada must be equal to at least riding across Blenheim...they're not sure why it taking you so long!! lol

  2. You missed free pizza here at the Miss-CAC yesterday. It was delicious. But the whole time I was thinking, 'Gosh, I'd much rather be walking my bike over huge hills in a downpour with gale-force winds.' ;0p
