With well over 200 kms to go, and not yet onto the Avalon Peninsula, it was unlikely to be the final day. With a hot forecast it was also going to be a challenge again.

| Rock waterfall outside Port Blandford |
 |
| At the front of the train again (Clarenville) |
 |
| A quiet Sunday morning..... |
 |
| This guy wasn't happy I wanted to use his trail for riding my bike |
 |
| Not quite the end of the line, arrived in Whitbourne |
With St. John's just out of reach (unless I wanted to arrive under lights), Holyrood was the next best thing. However after ringing several places it seemed accommodation was limited so metropolitan Whitbourne sufficed. A respectable 164 kms for the day (which was another scorcher temperature wise!).
The elevation profile for the day. The climb out of Clarenville was the killer. The temperature and lack of wind made for a sweltering crawl.
 |
| The first climb was made in the cool of the morning but the second climb (out of Clarenville) was back to baking in the sun :-( |
Another long day in the heat but good progress:
 |
| Port Blandford to Whitbourne - 164 kms |
