So the trip was finally able to begin on May 27th. After a minor delay on the 26th in front of a loyal cheering squad we returned home slightly dissapointed and anxious to get this trip rolling! At around noon, the 27th we departed from downtown halifax. We made our way across the bridge through dartmouth, and before we knew it we were 50 kilometres deep. My (Skye's) parents happened to be swinging through the elmsdale area and offered so kindly to deliver our heavy baggage, by car to our destination for the night which was Truro, Nova Scotia!! Although it was 50km further than we intended on going on the first day and the last 20 km were painful and hellish to say the least we surprised ourselves by making it there in approximately 5 hours of biking time. Grandma Purdy kindly offered us some food and a bed for the night and we slept like babies. We are currently in Masstown and are on our way to Spencer's Point for the night and then off to Amherst on friday! We're looking forward to having a small amount of rest today and then continuing on to New Brunswick to meet up with some good friends!! So far legs feel great, "everything else" is raw to say the least!!! Our seats are verrrry thin!!
We'll have some pics up as soon as we can.
Shout out to Pelletier for whatever he thinks he did for us!! ahaha
Thanks to everyone who helped us get the balls rolling again.
Until Next Time, Purd and Babs
