Day Twenty-Six: Heading for an early stop in Dryden. It's a cool day, perfect for cycling, but his legs are flat. A week ago he would have been flying on a day like today, but he has no zip.
Likely lack of carbos, the food (including highway stop shops) has been iffy lately, but that shouldn't be an issue in Dryden. All the more reason to stop early, (if you call 165 km in 7 hrs early?), but even if he adds another hour he gains nothing since Winnipeg is still two days away no matter how you divide the distance.
In TO the running gang is BBQing at Jeff's tonight to celebrate Michael and Via's pending new addition. B might be finished and back before the baby arrives- He can celebrate then! Maybe a joint "arrival" party!
171 kms- 8 hrs 3 minutes - 4,140 kms Total

I'm a friend of a friend of Brian's (co-worker Rachel) who told me about Brian's quest/adventure. I have been fascinated by the account of the trip on this blog, and wanted to congratulate you both.
ReplyDeleteI've been cheering the riders at the Tour de France for 2 weeks, but rest assured that for every "Go Ryder (Hesjedal)!", I add another cheer, "Go Brian!".
Wishing you the very best along the way - and even a nice bowl of hot, steaming, flavourful pasta!
Sending you good vibes and good-luck wishes!
Cheers,
Helen
