Today was hot and muggy. The morning ride was great as the sun wasn't fully up, but after having a lunch break at the Bouctouche sand dunes it started to get quite warm. I inevitably got lost after detouring to see the dunes, but the pictures I got made it worth the extra kms. The beach there is excellent too and I would definitely recommend a visit.
I jumped on the NB-11 hwy after finally figuring out where I was and after getting almost eaten by a rabid German Shepherd on the loose. Luckily I was headed downhill so I outpaced him by a little bit. The highway was good for the most part, with wide shoulders, but these started to become sporadic as I neared Black River and Miramichi.
Looks like it might rain tomorrow.

A crazy idea became a spontaneous adventure when I decided to pedal a bicycle to Calgary, Alb. from Halifax, NS in the summer of 2011. Inside you will find stories, pictures, routes and the equipment I used for this journey.
