Aha! Tis I, Dustin J Bromley here. I've joined this motley crew for a week, and as such, have been placed into the official blogging rotation.
Now, as is the style of the blog, I'll switch to typing in the third person.
Big Day! Stepped foot in 3 Provinces: PEI, New Brunswick, & Nova Scotia, but only bought souvenir magnets from 2 (so far).
Heidi, Greg, and Dustin drove back across the Confederation Bridge to Cape Jourimain, to have a morning coffee with Peter, another cyclist crossing Canada. Jazzed up on caffeine, Heidi and Dustin jumped on their bikes in Port Elgin heading East. No 'Welcome to Nova Scotia' sign on this route. When they asked someone on the side of the road "How far until Nova Scotia?", they replied, "Oh you're here. New Brunswick ended about 20 kilometres back".
Greg scouted ahead and found a nice bakery halfway, in Pugwash where Dustin & Heidi stopped for treats and a coffee.
Lots of salt piles in Pugwash, no clean dogs though.
Fairly flat riding all day with small rolling hills. Dustin with his weak day 1 of riding muscles drafted Heidi most of the day. They had stopped in Wallace for more water, when a woman approached saying she had noticed the matching bike kits a couple times that day and exclaimed how impressed she was, so Heidi gave her a BC pin. Ain't that nice!
Dave had booked a great campsite on the end of Brule Point called Sunset Watch. So, after a big spaghetti dinner care of Heidi and Greg, we sat on a bench with a bottle of fortified wine and... watched the sunset.
