Ophelia and the open road

Inside the tent the rain from Ophelia sounded like a waterfall. The Eureka Spitfire Solo tent stayed dry thanks to the Silshelter serving as a second flysheet. Six days biking and I'm at Clarenville approx 200km west of St. John's on Trans Can Hwy. Did a few side trips en route. Warm temps, however, damp from daily showers - starting to smell. Ideal biking across rolling terrain easy on paved hwy shoulder. Next stop is Bonivista Youth Hostel (two or three days biking) to rest and clean up. TCH is the longest free glove shop in the world, have reached my quota of two pairs of motorbike gloves (summer and all weather). Will try not to stop and pick up anymore. Twice cooked on open fires inspite of everything dripping wet, washed in lake water still warm.
