I got up and packed up and noticed my front tire was very low in air again. I was getting sick of that but I did not want to take the time to change the tube or patch it so I pumped up the tire to 100 lbs and got going down the road. It was a cold, cloudy, windy day, but it did not rain on me too much today.
New Brunswick is very Beautiful and continues to be very hilly. There are Moose Crossing signs everywhere warning people to watch out for Moose, so there must be a fair number of Moose in New Brunswick. I did not see any Moose and I was pretty disappointed with that. I waited at several Moose Crossings but not Moose crossed. Lying Signs Anyway. I rode to Saint Quentin and ate lunch at Tim Horton’s. A nice little restaurant here in the north eastern part of the States and New Brunswick. My front tire continues to leak air slowly. I have to stop and fill it up every couple of hours. Kind of a nuisance, but I am not in the mood right now to tear everything apart again to fix it.
I kept going and got to a pretty steep mountain. I did not realize that I was going to have to cross mountains here in New Brunswick but this was my stupid idea to come here so I guess I deserved it. Anyway, I grunted up the mountain and coasted down the other side and eventually got to Campbellton just before dark. I went down to the water’s edge and put my foot in the water. This is where the Gulf of Saint Lawrence in the Atlantic Ocean flows into Campbellton. There were two young boys down there on their bicycles so I asked them to take my photo which they did. They were nice young men. Lucas and Tyler. They both spoke fluent English and French like most of the people in New Brunswick. They said they were straight “A” students. I took a couple of photos and at some dinner and headed back toward Maine.
Sometime today I strained my left hamstring pretty bad. Climbing the mountain, I guess. It hurts pretty bad. I am a little surprised because my legs are pretty strong now and I did not think this would happen at this point. Anyway, I am not sure what is going on but my left hamstring hurts pretty bad this afternoon, so I purchased an ace wrap at Wall-Mart in Campbellton and wrapped my leg.
I got about 20 miles up the road and found a spot on the side of the road and pitched my tent and went to bed. A pretty long day of 106 miles.
It rained all night. I kept dry and warm in my tent, but my bicycle got pretty wet and not every little bag on my bike is watertight. So my maps are all wet, my wallet is soaked and things are a little soggy in general.
