Day 58: Shediac to Amherst, and on to Truro!

Today the weather was perfect! When we looked at the weather report, it showed lots of rain for Thursday, so we decided to double up and do two days in one - because our bodies were used to that distance anyway.

So away we went!

We made it to Nova Scotia, Amherst, and then rode a side highway to Truro.


A cool church in downtown Amherst

Amherst had some cute houses!

But the highlight of the day by far was meeting up with a young man we met back in Revelstoke, BC, who was biking across the country. His name is Anthony.  It was an awesome reunion.

Love you Anthony! You rock buddy. He is totally self-supported and some great stories were shared by all.

This was the very first Bicycle Rest Stop we have encountered. It had picnic tables, bathrooms, and everything!


It's hard to believe we are now 100 km's within our destination of Halifax!


We will take tomorrow off, and finish our last leg of the journey on Friday.

Wow! I think we are going to actually make it folks!
One riding day left, unbelievable. 

Remember, always wear your sunscreen.




You've heard of truck stops... Well this is the first bicycle rest stop we ever came across in all of Canada... Equipped with a picnic table, guest book, garbage can and grassy area to stretch !!
