Day 65: Colonsay to Wynyard
I felt pretty tired today. I think it was from a lack of decent breakfast.
In the morning, I met a cyclist from Vancouver who had started in St. John's.
On the road today, I heard my bike making an unusual noise. It took me a short while to figure it out. There was a wire in my tire that was hitting on the inside of my fender. I was able to diagnose it and remove the wire before it caused a flat.
I stayed at the Wyngard Regional Campground ($15). It's a nice place with free showers and lots of shady trees.
A couple of days ago the Kindle downloaded a new version of software. There are a couple of significant benefits. Firstly, it is now possible to group books into collections. More importantly, the browser is now enabled. Previously, it would only go to Wikipedia. Now I will be able to check weather forecasts any time I am somewhere with cell phone coverage and perhaps even look up campgrounds. The browser is limited - pretty much text only, but this will be very useful for planning.
I hope to make it to Yorkton tomorrow. Further would be better since they're calling for rain in most places on Tuesday. It should be sunny again on Wednesday.
End point:
