I noticed this morning that the backs of both of my hands had sunburns. I started using some new gloves yesterday and hadn't considered the new holes in the back when I put on sunscreen. Today, I did a better job.
Today started off well. I had a really good pace on a very straight highway with a wide, smooth shoulder and little traffic. There was a bit of wind and it was slightly from behind. Then, the road jogged a bit, the shoulder disappeared and the wind shifted to a cross headwind. That really started to eat up energy. After 139 km, I was (am still) pretty beat.
I passed through London, Ontario at about the 100 km point in the day. I am not sure why but it reminded me a bit of Calgary. Maybe, it's just because it's the first big Canadian city I've been in for a while.
Google maps had a few surprises for me. First, it decided that I would like a little single track to enter London. Might have been fun if I had the right bike or at least better tires. The second was in the last few kilometers before reaching our campground. It took me down a long country road that half way turned into a gravel road. I had 3 or 4 km of tricky riding before it went back to paved again. Google maps has a "bicycle route" mode but I really wish it would have a "paved only" checkbox.
Why did the duck cross the campground?
I'm not too sure that even s/he knew.
