It is Canada Day! Today we start in Truro, NS and head for the ferry from Digby to St. John, NB.
  • Saturday: Started in Toronto, visited Kingston, stopped in Ogdensburg, NY.
  • Sunday: Started in Ogdensburg, visited Lake Placid, stopped in St. Johnsbury, VT with a broken SV.
  • Monday: Cobbled the SV together and limped it to Montreal with one eye constantly on the DMM I had wired up as a voltmeter, watching it tick down like a fuel gauge or a doomsday clock.
  • Tuesday: Yi stayed in Montreal while I ran out to Ottawa on the SV and came back with a CBR (saw 138 indicated on the CBR during a long downhill stretch with a decent tailwind and draft!).
  • Wednesday: Started in Montreal, visited Quebec city, stopped in Riviere-du-Loup, QC.
  • Thursday: Started in Riviere-du-Loup, visted Debbie's Deli & Pizza in Patton, ME, stopped in Freddy, NB.
  • Friday: Started in Fredericton, lunched at the Garden Diner in Moncton, and then rode on to Charlottetown, PE.
  • Saturday: Rode from Charlottetown, caught the ferry, and did a few amazing scenic routes in NS before getting to Baddeck for the night.
  • Sunday: Tried our best on the Cabot Trail, but the storm got the better of us - staying in Cheticamp until morning.
  • Monday: got from Cheticamp back to Baddeck just fine, then booked a room in Truro and did a short but windy and intense ride there.
  • Tuesday: Heading out from Truro to Digby, where we're booked on the 8:45 ferry to St. John. It should work out so that we can see some fireworks displays from out on the water, so we're pretty stoked.
Total distance so far is well over 3000 km plus my ~450km errand to Ottawa. Now we are working our way back west.

I've been reading along and enjoying the views. So what's happening with the SV?

I finally figured out how this thing works and how to cheer you guys up like those folks along the mountain climb stages during Le Tour de France. You know me Phil, always got to be related to sports in some way. First of all I did my homework as requested, I got your text but couldn't figure out how it works on my cell to reply (there's a reason why I live in Elmira and you are in TO :-)...), your mom is all caught up. She sends her Happy belated birthday to Yi and promises that we'll celebrate upon you guys safe and sound return
