Day 4 White River to Agawa Bay: 180km

Leaving White River at 8am

Strava record of today's ride: White River to Agawa Bay. 180km, 25.3km/hr

I started the day with a nagging pain in my knee, but it felt like a previous injury so I was pretty sure I could manage it. Fortunately that turned out to be the case.

I was nervous about the distance, so I took off early to buy myself some time, but it meant I missed the change in lunch locations which added time and extra kms, but nothing crazy.

For the afternoon portion, I rode with another rider which made the intense climbs more bearable.

We had our first really warm day so the sun drained a lot of energy, and 1455m elevation gain didn't help, but overall a great ride. I'm feeling stronger on the inclines, and better pace overall.


As an added bonus, I took a relaxing swim in Agawa Bay at our campsite, which wasn't a cold as I was expecting. Looking forward to Sault Ste. Marie tomorrow.
