Day 6
Spent the last two nights at picnic tables on the bike path. We have had an enormous tailwind and the path has been flat. This morning we were given permission to use the internet at a public library while it's closed. What a treat. Good thing we were persistent. We sent Leo several times to the door and then someone opened it and let us in. Charlotte and Leo are reading books which is a well deserved break for them.
We've been doing roughly 30 -60 km/day (23/40/miles/day) It has been fine with us so far. We're adjusting to life on the bikes. Our bodies are in a state of shock. I'm just getting over the initial butt pain and can settle in for longer amounts of time before I have to get up.
It has been very hot. Sun block and water are our usual doses of comfort when we stop to take a break. Seems like we break once an hour, more if there are hills.
Leo and Charlotte are adapting real well. They switch between pedaling and sitting in the Chariot. At times, Leo prefers to stay in the Chariot while Charlotte cries to stay on the bike. She's big enough to sit on the bike.
We'll get more info up when we get to Quebec City.
Thanks for reading.
Wow! You are all so brave! Finn saw the video of Leo riding a two wheeler and the next day Finn started riding his two wheeler! Thanks for the inspiration Leo! Give us a few more years and maybe we can join you! I love the updates and pics. Give my love to ur family Chris!
