Day 54 Near Sudbury > Sturgeon Falls

Monday – no more rest for the wicked! We drove up to my last stop near Sudbury and I set off on today’s ride feeling rested and ready to take on the day. It soon became warm 33degrees and I sweltered along. Not many shops for the Newarkers in Sudbury so they were soon hot on my heels. Filling water bottles and throwing bananas at me! The scenery is very undulating and the road surface almost non exsistent. The huge ruts constantly throw me across the path of passing vehicles and with the head wind increasing it was agreed that the Newarkers would go ahead and find accommodation in Sturgeon Falls. It finally occurred to me today after completing three quarters of this trip with predominantly an Easterly wind there is no wonder that the settlers never returned to England – guess they just couldn’t face the wind! The days ride over we descended on a local Italian restaurant. Jill swayed to the beat of organ music playing classics from the sound of music to The Carpenters but only actually broke into song when the Bee Gees came up! Lucy shrank under the table as I encouraged her!
