Stage 31 Bras d’Or, NS to North Sydney, NS

July 6
24 km, 1 h 22 m

The Weather Channel has been our trusted friend on this journey. The goofy guy who is on weekday mornings has endeared himself to me. He loves his job.

Today we’re told to expect showers. We got to the ferry terminal just in time to avoid the rain. We meet another cyclist on his way to St John’s named Dick Loomer. His wife is the director of the Elektra Women’s Choir. My friend Holly sings in the choir, so I knew that they were going to be there. But to meet another cyclist from Vancouver- who knew?

By the time we were ready to load, the rain was coming down in earnest. On top of that, we had to wait about twenty minutes in the downpour. A foreshadowing of things to come?
