Day two started early with team one on the road by 6:30am. The day started with a very heavy fog, and somewhat cool. The rest of the team were packed and on the road behind to be ready for the first team switch at the Quebec New Brunswick boarder. Team one rolled in a little cool and wet from the fog that had stuck to helmets, glasses and cloths.
Team switch done and on the road into New Brunswick. Some good hills from the boarder into Edmonston, but the sun burned away the fog and turned in to a great riding day.
Just past Edmonston it was down along the river and some nice rolling ride for team three with Megan, we had a great ride with a solid pace for about 20km.
Teams continued to change in 20-40km intervals throughout the day. Stopping for the odd break, coffee and washroom when we could.
Hardest rides of the day were to be a very hilly section up out of the river valley and heading into Woodstock, had to have you climbing legs on for this stretch.
Just outside of Woodstock all the team gathered up and road in a pack into the Hotel in Woodstock where the Canadian Diabetes Association and our Sponsor Sanofi Aventis had organized an fundraiser and BBQ. It was a real thrill for everyone to ride into a great reception and a chance to chat with some of the local folks from around Woodstock including a welcome from the Mayor.
Evening ended off with a great meal cooked by our chief, shared around the RV's, nice long HOT shower and off to bed to get ready for day three Woodstock to Moncton 287km.
