Had a large room to sleep in and were able to repack bags and organize before hitting the road. I had slept off and on and found the restful sleep came when it was time to get up!! I could hear movement overhead where Peter was cooking breakfast for everyone. Thanks Peter. He had toast, coffee, eggs, ham and juice. We all had our fill. Packed bags and were on road by 9:40 or so to lovely sunny skies. Only got about 2 km when Geoff's phone rang. Discovered that he had packed some of Peter's clothing with his own. We waited for Pete to come and retrieve them. Then it was enroute following the road to the airport and then onward to Scoudouc to meet the #134. Tail wind was amazing and we made great time. Stopped at a local market for fresh strawberries. Then on to Grande Digue where we stopped for lunch. Had a yummy lobster roll, but it could have had more lobster and it really wasn't that filling. From there we decided to do a paceline and we were able to draft along at 28 km per hour. That is incredible considering the amount of load that Bob and I are carrying. Traffic was good, and road decent. When we are pacelining it distracts from being able to sight see as you are concentrating on the wheel in front of you, plus the road for potholes etc. We rolled into Richibucto around 3:30...stopped at the Co-Op and liquor store before heading on the the VN Star motel for the night. We went to the attached restaurant for dinner and back to rooms for a game of cards. Geoff went to bed early, knowing that we had organized an early start for the morning. The rest of us were in bed by 10.
