After taking an extra day in Maniwaki to rest our minds, bodies, souls and asses, today we’ll continue south to what will slowly complete our loop back to Almonte. 

We’ve been thrilled with the bicycle network that has gotten us this far. 

We’re doubly thrilled to unexpectably find another seventy kilometres of transposed rail trail today. Right from absolutely fresh pavement to the unmaintained farm lanes we’d been advised of. Keeping in the Nemy family tradition, all conquered with much success (and in some circumstances much haste out sprinting some seasonal deer flies)   

With the margin of error somewhat compounded by travelling on bicycle, we know most days, taking in consideration of distance with available services, our target destination. Most of our designated camping days we’ll menu plan and shop accordingly. Due to the rural nature of our predetermined camp, the back-up “motel plan” will not be available so we’re hoping the unsettled summer weather we’ve experiencing will cooperate.(unfortunately some idea shelters along the route didn’t quite fit into our travel log) Let’s see.
