71km/44m, 5hrs2mins, 14kph/8.7mph, 1123m/3650ft of climbing.
Cumulative distance so far, 1975km/1226m.
Gaspe! And that's not just me breathing heavily. Reaching Gaspe today marks a literal turning-point. From here I shall be heading back to Toronto, albeit by a much different route.
Another tough day's cycling today with lots of climbing, some dense fog, and two extended periods of heavy rain. (No wind, though. One could almost guarantee that the easterly wind, which has plagued me for four weeks, would die just as I was about to turn for home and it could have been useful). It's a good job I had the sense to keep the distances fairly short for the past three days. It wouldn't have taken many more climbs today to finish me off. I have, however, reached my halfway point in good spirits and in good shape. Decidedly fitter than when I started.
Tomorrow to Perce, where I shall probably take a rest day. In the meantime I've posted a few more pictures.
