Today's ride was broken into two parts, separated by a 2 hour ferry ride on the Chi-Cheemaun from South Baymouth to Tobermory.

I thought the 2 hour break would be a blessing, but it was quite the opposite. 

I've been dealing with an inflammed left achilles for a few days, but it's been manageable with a tensor bandage, and letting it settle down overnight before hitting the road again. My problem today was the two hour ferry ride was enough time for my ankle to cool down and swell up, but not enough time for it to settle down before I started riding again. Needless to say, the ride from Tobermory to Owen Sound was painful.
