Stage 2 complete

Looked out the window this morning as the sun was coming up over the beach, with the leaves rustling in the breeze.  After spending the morning walking on the beach, we turned south into a brutal headwind that didn't let up all day.  Nothing to do but put the head down, earphones with music in, and pedal. Fortunately it was a short, flat ride to Port Hastings and our taxi ride to Truro (avoiding 3 days of riding, partially along the t-can). Ate poutine as a reward for biking cape Breton.

Now staying at the nicest hotel in Truro (the Worcester of Nova Scotia) - the best western.  They do have a nice bike shop, so I replaced the cleats on my shoes which haven't worked in 2 days. Used the surly to its potential today, riding on the dirt rail trail where for 30km there were no cars, 4 walkers and 1 dirt biker.  Love my surly! Although it's heavier, going up hills with the granny, and down with the weight spread out make it the touring choice.  Jenn leaves us tomorrow and we head down the bay of Fundy, and through the Annapolis valley. 27.3 miles.
