88 km, 6.5 hrs The morning started out with a detour in search of fresh bread. Scott wanted to get back on the TCH right away (and head up a big hill to do so), but we had little food and didn’t know what would be available on the highway. We knew there was a…

6h 15 min, 78 km It was a good day riding today. Our average speed is still slow and the wind didn’t completely cooperate, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as it has been and the sun shone all day. It was a beautiful day riding, so we didn’t feel bad that we were not…

55 km, 4 h 30 min Our breakfast was fabulous again today, with toast made using fresh bread from the motel bakery. One thing to be said for Newfoundland and Labrador, there’s a bakery almost everywhere, with excellent fresh bread. Today we continued heading south, which meant more headwinds. The road was also rather hilly.…

75 km, 5h 30 min After a quiet night in the tent, Clyde and Linda fed us a tasty breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast, which was wonderfully fortifying for the day. For the first part of the day, we left the headwinds behind. Our progress was rather quick and we arrived at the outskirts…

70 km, 5h 50 min Today our progress was painfully slow. It was a beautifully sunny day; however, the headwinds slowed us dramatically. We planned to have lunch in Centreville – our midway point for the day. We didn’t arrive there until 3:30 pm, at which point we were tired and starving. The place we…

4 hr 20 min, 75 km Today was a beautiful sunny day, and we had some spectacular views of this part of the Newfoundland coast. The highway was much busier than usual. Unfortunately, the Trans Canada Highway is still closed at Gambo, and likely will be for several days. This means everyone who would normally…

72 km, 4h 40 min ride time. Today was very wet. When we left in the morning, it was raining lightly, however, it didn’t take too long to pick up. It was not nearly as bad as Friday, but still bad enough that we were quite wet and soggy when we pulled into Pat’s Place…

60 km, 4 hours ride time (no gear) Our original plan was to ride unloaded to Twillingate, then ride back (50 km – 60 km round trip), pack up and go on to Farewell to catch the ferry to Fogo (another 47 km). This turned out to be just slightly unrealistic, since the hills between…
