Today we turned what should have been a quick 7.7km to Bathurst into a 16km hilly hunt for a new back tire. We were only marginally successful in tracking one down at a general outdoor supply store since there aren't any bike shops in town. We have less confidence in the cheap, knobby replacement tire than in my patched marathon so I'm going to continue riding with my little piece of plastic until we hit a fail. Part of this is also that we're simply curious to see how long it can hold up, it looks pretty stable.
Tonight we are thoroughly enjoying a rest at the Lakeview Inn and Suites here in Bathurst. They have generously donated our night's stay, which is especially appreciated after a wet week and some loud campgrounds. The service at the Inn has been fantastic and we're about to curl up with an onsite movie in our suite. These rare moments of comfort and normalcy go a long way to restore us and keep us moving.
Tomorrow is a big day. We'll start with a visit to a Cardiac Rehab class at the Bathurst hospital before we take off for Miramichi, where we'll have another event in the evening. Should be lots of fun!
