Back in Bathhurst

Hi Everyone, We arrived back in Bathhurst on Tuesday afternoon July 19th.  The final day was promised to be 40 km of light climbing with 100 km of decent. I was passed by Petie shortly after making our third grueling climb in the first 5 km.  He said welcome to the Appalachians.  Somehow the significance of the remark made little sense until our 50th uphill grind in the first 100k.  Peter later claimed it was all a major misunderstanding on our part....100 km of climbing with 40 km of decent. Oh well, we got here.  George and I attempted hitch hiking but could find no takers.
The trip ended with a total of 2277 kilometers over 20 days of riding.
2 Flat tires
1 Slightly out of true rim
No close calls
Tons of fun
