The NEC gang is back in the USA! With quads of steel and positive attitudes!
Their Canadian adventure started with a drive up to St. John where they ferried their way across to Nova Scotia.
First biking day set a route from Dunromin Campground to Jeremy Bay Campground in Kejimkujik National Park: an impressive 36 miles! Even more impressive what the next day's mileage... a whopping 55 miles from Jeremy Bay Campground to Thomas Raddall Campground! The following days were slowed down a little by some rain... but they biked like pros all the way back to Dunromin!
The group's support vehicle travelled close by and left surprise chalk messages and shouts of encouragement! Although the emotional support was amazing... the group rarely needed any physical support. Not ONE flat tire the entire trip!
The group embraced the Canadian atmosphere and raved about the accents and interesting road signs. They also enjoyed encountering several local characters.
Yesterday, they took the ferry back to St. John's and down to Mount Desert Island to stay at Seawall Campground... a delightful spot where the sound of the waves lull you to sleep... a much needed rest for these epic road bikers!
