Newfoundland!!!!

We woke up at 6:00 a.m. Friday morning for our early ferry out of Sydney, Nova Scotia to Port aux Basques, Newfoundland. Estimated travel time was six hours. This boat was full of great times consisting of snoring in a chair, doing laps around the ferry, and playing a healthy dose of Buck Hunter.

We arrived in Port aux Basques around 2 o'clock, yet our In-Ride Coordinator needed to get to a doctor as her ear was in pain. Brodie and I went and grabbed groceries and picked up Ashley her prescription and were off at around 4:30 p.m. I wanted to get at least 60 km. outside of the city so there was less mileage to do toward Corner Brook. We stopped 100 km. down the road, surpassing our expectation. Immediately, while filling up with gas we were met by many people entering and exiting the gas station wanting to make donations. It was actually really neat to see these people in Newfoundland really wanting to make a difference and excited about Chase the Cure coming through!!!

This morning, we awoke to thunder and lightning and heavy rain. We waited out the lightning and thunder until around 10 o'clock but the rain still poured. I hopped on the bike and traveled down the road becoming wetter and wetter as we moved closer to Corner Brook. The weather was most definitely not on my side as headwinds caused the rain to be pushed directly in my face. Rumblings of thunder occurred off in the distance. Overall, it was a long wet day, but we arrived in Corner Brook and are currently sitting in a great coffee house called Brewed Awakening.
