Today was the first day in a renewed push to try and see how far I could go. After spending 3 days in Quebec City I began to have my doubts whether it would be possible to get to St. John's in time for me to return to school in the fall. If I could manage a hard schedule; however, it would still be possible to make it. It was a narrow path, but still possible to make it in time.
I woke up to my first flat tire-- evidence that my rear tire was losing its protective tread. Actually, it was a miracle that I went so long without needing to change them. People had been telling me right from the beginning that I'd go through a set or two, but it never happened. Just in the last couple of days the pavement had been hot and I believe it was causing more wear on my tires.
Anyway, I fixed the tire and worked my way to Rivière du Loup which wad the western end of a trail to Edmunstun New Brunswick. It was really nice once I got past the steep hills and onto the trail. The trail had a really nicely groomed surface and specifically allowed wild camping enroute to Edmundston. I had an empassioned day of cycling at medium effort until midnight, completing a total of 150km.
