Day 2 - Holyrood - Clarke's Beach

along the Conception Bay highway (aka Route 60)

(lunchspot)

daily stats
weather:
cloudy, windy, misty, foggy, 13˚
Rummy 5000 scores: bob = 170, manny = 385 (boo-ya!)
total riding time: 3 hrs 16 mins 27 secs
avg speed:
14 (m) / 13.8 (b)
max speed:
47.5 (m) / 46.5 (b)
total distance:
45.33 kms

after coffee and homemade bread with bobby & helen in the morning, we set off the way we had come...5 kms uphill to end the night meant 5 kms of downhill!
a great way to start off the day...
especially after realizing the craziness to come....that 45.33 kms didn't seem like such a short day at the time.

after pedaling a long (long) uphill, then down into beautiful Clarke's Beach, bob says:

"just think...if you had ditched me and decided to go with some other guy, you'd be on a cruise ship right now, drinking a mai tai"

we most definitely earned the homemade scone with partridgeberry ham and fresh scald cream that we devoured with our afternoon tea in Brigus (pron: brick-us)


(the family of ducks we shared our grassy campsite patch with)
