Hi all,

Sorry I did not get a post up yesterday when we were finished. I did not want to hinder the studying of a grad.

We were certainly blessed with another beautiful day. No rain to be had and just a few clouds. The Lord answered the desire of my heart to both finish the 270 Km and to be able to see His beautiful creation while I did it. Last year our one day along the coast it was raining and foggy.

Day 3 - Saturday
We decided to start at the former end seeing how we were not able to go where had been planned the day before. So we got out at the TCH and headed south to St. Mary's. You can see the sign in our picture.

I begin to wonder who kept picking the direction as we were cycling into the wind. It was just a moderate compared to Friday though and we were making good time. The amount of traffic was a little heavier, it being a Saturday and in cottage country. One of the unique characteristics of NL is that there are lakes and ponds all over the place. They certainly are a part of the beauty and lure to the weekend fisherman.

We cycled along fresh water lakes for a time and then we were far enough south to reach the salt water. The air coming off of that cooled us down. Even though there was a breeze against us we had gone 52 KM by our 11:30 lunch time.

After lunch we had a lot more hills and twists and turns in the road. I had to be more careful of my speed going down hills as I did not want to go too fast on the turns and the not so perfect pavement. You can get a bit of our perspective of the turain from the pictures.
