Day 14: Burgeo to Gander

11/30/2014

Comments

 
Today started off quite dreary. The fog had rolled in overnight, and was trapped between Burgeo and the mountains. It was a good 90 mins of riding off, before we were out of the fog.



We swung through the provencial park in Burgeo and since it was so fogged in we didn't pay to enter. However, in the right weather it could be very nice.

We took the other (east ) side of the lake and had a hoot. The dust was far less, as were the chuckhole gardens. The track for the most part was 80 miles of fast dirt. Only past two cars and three atvs.








I do imagine with more rain, this red clay could get quite slimy to ride, much like a greased pig...


However, this was the last leg of gravel and signal that we are more than ½ way done in both time and distance. Millertown is the last gravel we are suppose to ride.



Lance's favorite section, gravel to asphalt...also Blaster's saddest.


While we still have a few coastal tourisita things planned (B36 crash site and some coastal towns), NLFD is due to catch the tail of the hurricane by late weekend. Funny enough, we get a few American TV channels and all we hear about it the 35 Million that will be affected by the hurricane. They aren’t even really talking about getting the rain up here!

Yesterday, Blaster was not overly enamored by the trailway. However, as we were totting down the trans-canada highway today he did ponder where the next track entrance might be. I do have the enitre trailway loaded in the GPS should we endevor. Who knows, we might just saddle up in the morning and spend the next 3 days riding it to Saint John’s!
