Day 5

R & R
Distance: 0km
Weather: Blue-sky beautiful
Mechanicals: 1 flat tire

Today we decided to have a rest day and we just relaxed around the campground all day. We are about half-way through our journey so we figured it was a good time to rest up the legs and give Sean's butt a chance to recover!

The campground is pretty great as there is hardly anyone here so it felt as if we had the place to ourselves. We did some maintenance on the bikes; I hate to say this because I am going to jinx myself, but I have been lucky so far to not have had many problems or flats with my bike. Sean, on the other hand, already had two flats and somehow managed to even get a flat at the campground today!

I was thinking today about how it is interesting to think about what you think about when biking. After getting into the swing of things the first two days, I am now finding the repetitive motion of pedaling to be almost hypnotic...you just get in this rhythm and keep on going. At one point yesterday I started to think of psychics equations, which is not only embarrassing to admit but is also a bit scary given my absolute hatred of the subject...anyways, on that note, tomorrow it is on to Gander and searching out a tool to fix Sean's bike! Until then....
