Apply Liberally

The law of averages holds true we are now paying for all the great weather we have had. Be for I get more in to the weather let me catch you up on what has transpierced since my last post. While writing my last post I was also chatting up the librarian, telling here where I was from and what I was doing. As the library was closing I was asking her if she had any restaurant recommendations or any suggestions for where we could camp, she made a few suggestions. Andrew and I then went out side and started packing up right as we were about to head out the librarian came out with her husband, they said that if we didn’t want to camp out we were more welcome to come stay with them. It had been a wile since our last shower so we quickly agreed. We packed our bikes in there mini van and headed to their house. We found out that the librarian was named Debbie and her husband was named Harry also they had 5 kids all boys: Andrew, Hayden, Owen, Harrison and Hunter. The kids ranged from ages 5 to 17. This family was totally awesome they fed us dinner (hamburgers) gave us beds and even did our laundry. In the morning they fed us breakfast and then drove us back to the trail. Talk about trail magic!!!!!! The day of riding after this stay was also awesome. Miraculously the strong wind that had previously been a head wind had done a 180 and was now at our back (law of averages proved once again). We started crushing out miles like no bodies business. At one point in they day it was really blowing and we were cranking on a flat stretch at 30+ mph. We ended up with a new mileage high at 94!!!!! Getting closer to a century. It rained all that night but we got the tent up b4 it started so stayed nice and dry but not for long. When we woke up the rain hadn’t stopped. We ended up hitting the trail let because we were dredging the weather.  The riding was miserable wet and cold the worst combo. During a water brake we decided we were defiantly going to stay in a motel so we took out the map to see where we could stop for the day. 90 fu*$ing miles till the next motel not happening!!!!! So are longest day was fallowed up by our shortest day 26. It looks like the rain is gonna keep coming so that’s a bummer but I guess this is what we singed up for.  We should be out of Canada with in the next too days. Canada has been pretty good but what is up with milk in bags it all over this place. Also they love Tim Hortons up here its like some crazy addiction. To address some of the comments from my last post: my nuts and nips are doing fine lots of gold bond. My gear has been working well brought just about the right amount. Here are some pics that I have taken so far.
