Leisurely start to the day. Seemed like it had rained overnight as the dew and mist were so heavy.
It was a good ride along the coast with lots of ups and downs and ups and downs. Had one hill that was up to a 15% grade but most were 8ish and all were short so fun to ride. You never know what is coming next. Sometimes the hills in the distance look so big but then you go downhill and get to the bottom of it and it ends up being an easy grade.
Went through some older settlements with nothing in them.
A lot of farm lands. We had a horse run alongside the fence with us for a bit. That was cool. Also we had some dogs who came out barking but not on the road. We had one come out to great us on the road but we talked to him and he settled down.
We kept getting views of the Bay of Fundy and could see over to the New Brunswick side as well. The Bay of Fundy! How cool is that?
Dustin managed to spill his coffee first thing so he went without caffeine until about 42 km into the ride where we were able to get a cup at a corner store.
He perked up a bit after that. 🤪 While we were drinking our coffee Nancy and Dave caught up to us and they were looking for lunch. However the Walton’s Pub and Eatery was not open until 11:30. I believe Dave had chips and chocolate at the store.
After coffee we had 21 km to meet up with Greg at camp. It started to drizzle about 7 km out when we were going through Cheverie. So we got a bit wet. Nancy and Dave were a bit behind us so they got a bit wetter getting to camp.
The campsite is empty, only one other camper. They host 3 music festivals here throughout the summer, one last weekend during the horrendous rain on Saturday.
Bromley's had a walk down the beach on the afternoon sunshine. Really cool red sand, looks like Mars.
Bromley's were on dinner duty (burgers) and a sudden downpour had us picking up the picnic table and moving it mid meal. Then a rip roaring game of Bananas which Heidi cheated at during the last game. Who knew that gem is not spelled “jem”?
Thanks for reading!

Can’t believe how close to done you guys are! 😲
Riding without a morning coffee? Now that's roughing it. Sounds like Dave is blazing quite a trail of junk food across Canada. Go Dave!
You’re in NS wine country now!
15%??? Yikes! 8 is bad enough! You will be kicking my butt next time I see you. So fantastic that Dustin can join you. Very special!
