Three trip records were broken today! I hit the 1000 mile mark on my bike trip, I went over 90 miles in one day and I averaged 14.7 mph. Overall it feels pretty good to be this far in the trip! Surprisingly, it was not till the second half of the trip that my averaged jumped so much. The first half average was at 12.5-13 mph and at the 40 mile mark, after lunch, my legs felt pretty good and with a little tail wind I averaged about 18 mph for the next 2.5-3 hours! I was very happy to be knee-pain free for I would not have been able to do this with any knee pain. Hopefully they feel good tomorrow too!
Since today was cold and wet, I ended up wearing my full rain suit. I feel like this helped my knees out by keeping them warm and dry! I took off the jacket at one point but kept the legs on and it seemed to work wonders.
A special thanks to the Sparks family for hosting me this evening in Charing Cross, ON, Canada. The hospitality was amazing and the company even better. It was great meeting you all and hopefully our paths will cross again in the future. Thanks to the Asher family as well for the pie and sponsorship of my trip!
I am needing to get out of Canada by 4:30 tomorrow so that I can call unemployment before the weekend. I will just have to plan for this by leaving early in the morning.
