Safe Return Doubtful

55 km (34 miles) – Total so far: 1,483 km (921 miles) Heavy rain fell from early this morning and is still falling in late afternoon. It wasn’t forecast, more thunder showers were predicted. A kilometre or so to a Tim Horton’s for breakfast and watch the rain for a while.…

140 km (87 miles) – Total so far: 1,428 km (887 miles) Last night just after I checked into the only motel in Nackawic, the couple next door asked me to eat with them at the Golf Club, which was just nearby. They were in town as their was a 50th…

124 km (77 miles) – Total so far: 1,288 km (800 miles) There’s a top little restaurant just at the back of the gas station in Jemseg and the food is excellent. After a take away from there last night, breakfast this morning was also very welcome. The chance for a…

118 km (73 miles) – Total so far: 1,164 km (723 miles) Tearing myself away from watching Clarke smash our bowlers around Old Trafford I was on the road at 10, I couldn’t resist an hour watching the cricket. A calm and cloudy morning and gentle hills were responsible for the…

88 km (55 miles) – Total so far: 1,046 km (650 miles) Escape from the inner tent surrounded by 1,000 + mosquitos required all my ingenuity but I think I got away with just few bites. The previous evening had started in Fred’s seafood restaurant, but briefly. Every seafood was fried…

118 km (73 miles) – Total so far: 958 km (595 miles) Much needed quiet night cleaning bike and gear at the B and B. I had been looking for the reputedly best beer in PEI and found it, so I enjoyed a quiet couple back at the room, Gahan IPA…

64 km (40 miles) – Total so far: 840 km (522 miles) The last time i was in a place called Murray River was January 2003 just after Joe Srummer had died, travelling frommMelbourne to Sydney with us 4 – 0 down. We were actually about to win one, a rare…

93 km (58 miles) – Total so far: 685 km (426 miles) Written at Truro, busy city centre in the Split Crow bar mid Sunday afternoon. I’m pretty much finished for the day, but will need to get some km out of town to camp. Tourist Office not awfully helpful when…

99 km (62 miles) – Total so far: 592 km (368 miles) Breakfast was only served after 8 but it was worth the delayed start. Certainly I am recommend Paddy’s Irish Bar in town. Good chicken pasta and plenty of beer choice with the staff all knowledgeable about the situation. Away…

102 km (63 miles) – Total so far: 493 km (306 miles) Far too long in the Olde Towne Pub with a few Keith’s IPA’s and chatting with various people. Eventually retired just after dark to a place I’d spotted before just behind the fire station. Nobody minds wild camping, though…
