Other than the trains going by I had a good sleep and woke up on my own at 5:30. I managed to get out by 6:30 but had no food until I reached Upsala which was 40 kilometers away. Of note there is a tiny little gem of a place called English River which was only 20 km up the road that had lodging – oh well!
I had low energy but made it to the Upsala which is just a general store and two restaurants. There was a familiar looking bicycle outside and low and behold Mark was sitting inside! I couldn’t believe he was ahead of me based on his previous pace but he picked up some skinnier tires and was very persistent with riding most days. Unfortunately work called and he was taking a bus home but he really did awesome considering he never really biked before.
