Today on the website: a quick recap of how we accomplished our bikepacking trip around the Cabot Trail. Check it out if you’re interested in bikepacking or the Trail in general!

We got to meet the crew from @saltydog.petsitting today! What a great time. Many thanks for coming to hang out with us.

Four days. 311.3km. 4,176m of climbing. Rain, wind, wildlife, camping, glamping, hotels, mountains, overlooks, lots of water, good food, bad coffee, and hours upon hours of fun with my love. We finished the Cabot Trail, and we both desperately need a shower. A few hour drive and we’ll be celebrating in Halifax. Thanks to everyone who followed along and cheered us on.

We had to cancel yesterday due to constant (and often sideways) rain, but were back on the road today from Pleasant Bay to Ingonish Beach. We tackled two mountains today, Kaitie saw a coyote, and we had more snacks and saw more great scenery. We’ll probably pass out immediately after we get into our tent tonight, but that will be good for our long day (104km) tomorrow.

Work hard, eat harder. Our first day of cycling the Cabot Trail was fun, beautiful, delicious, and hard as hell. French Mountain kicked my ass, but then I took it out on the lobster roll and lobster mac and cheese at the Rusty Anchor. We’ll be rained in tomorrow, but back on our bikes Wednesday.

I feel bad that today was my first visit to @stargazyphilly (as well as my first ever scotch egg). It certainly won’t be my last. Two meat pies with mash & liquor (beef & onion and mushroom brie), the aforementioned scotch egg, tomato galette, and sausage roll. Brilliant.
