I am not really sure when the music ended from the night before. But it was loud for a long time, not a great way to spend the first night. By the time we left the campsite at about 8:30 it was very quite. One more highlight from this campground are the outdoor showers. I would call them semi private.
It felt good getting back on our bikes, well at least for 20 km’s. After this you start feeling the pain at different places in the body.
It was a tough day of riding because of the amount of traffic. For the most part there is no paved shoulder. So you really had to watch traffic going both ways.
Chantel and I did see a bear cross the highway about 100 yards in front of us. We stopped for a minute to make sure other bears would not cross. Once we started cycling again she rang her bell on the bike and I was singing “You are my sunshine”. That was a funny sight to hear and see.
We made it into Ashern by late afternoon. Stopped at a restaurant for supper and set up my campsite for the night. This is where Chantels portion of the trip ends. We did 98 km’s for this day. It was time to repack as I would now be on my own in getting to Thompson. It was hard saying goodbye to Chantel and Cheryl. It was such a pleasure biking with you Chantel. Cheryl you provided such wonderful support during these two days. I look forward to meeting up on Saturday again. Not sure where I will be by then.
Hopefully this will be a quieter night so I can sleep. Tomorrow will be a hot day but I only plan to cycle 60 km’s. So my day should be done by noon.
