Cool and sunny to start the ride today. There were 3 parts to the ride, the first 30k was a progressive climb, no really big hills just rolling with a steady gain in elevation through really pretty countryside. Then it was a long descent into Truro, again nothing really steep, just nice ride at 30 to 40 k/hr. Nancy, Dave, Heidi and Dustin all stopped in Truro for a bite to eat but we spread our business around, Dave and Nancy in one spot, Heidi and Dustin in in another. Nancy and Dave picked up some fresh local peaches for supper. They don't travel well in a bike bag attached to the seat...a little battered by the time we got to camp. The third part of the ride after lunch included about a 10k stretch along a gravel path on an old rail bed. It was hard packed so we were able to make reasonably good time. Then onto a regional road with good pavement, very little traffic and mostly flat, the perfect combination. Google is a bit behind in updates to the roads here so Nancy and Dave were a little confused...no cell service to check where to go...luckily Heidi and Dustin happened along at just the right time and lead us to our final destination in Maitland.
