We left WaWa at 8:00 A.M. very bundled up because it was -23 degrees. Canada has warming sheds that all riders can use. We stopped and built a fire, warmed up and continued our trip.
We traveled 251 miles today. Everyone is a little tired but we had a good day on the trails. When we arrived in Hearst it had warmed up to 3 degrees.
