I had a great send off today Grandpa Clayton making me breakfast and cool but sunny day. It was pretty good road out of Sudbury on highway 69 which turns into the trans Canada. There is a huge shoulder and fairly new pavement. The hills are also blasted out so there are no climbs just little rises here and there. Everything was perfect except the 20km headwind with 25km gusts and you guessed it the saddle sores- stay tuned!
Though these things I mentioned were bothersome I still had my head in Sudbury. It was nice for Gwen my cousin of sorts to contact me and organize everything. This is family I have never met and they really made me feel welcome. In fact in my tired state I didn’t even really consider that all of them were waiting for me to arrive and waited until 9pm even though some of them had a bit of a drive to get home. To me that is a hell of a thing to wait hours for someone and thinking back it really warms my heart. Again I can’t thank Gwen who was really the driver behind all of this and I hope to see her and the rest of the family in the near future.
Back on he road a surprising thing happened; since they are twinning the highway there is a closed off brand new stretch of road about 5 kilometers long with no one on it except a few construction guys. Though the wind was still howling it was nice to have my own road!
