Day 43: Day off in Thunder Bay

After a much needed sleep in and good breakfast we were ready for a hard day off, ahhh. We took our bikes in to get repaired and ready for the next stage of the tour. My bike ended up needing a new back tire, a new chain and a new front fork. The front fork has been something I have been ignoring for a lot of miles now and it was actually cracked so unfortunately I had to dig deep for a new one. It is so much better not having to listen to the constant creaking sound now and wondering when it will snap. It feels good to have our bikes sorted out and ready for the next half of the trip. After this we went to the cinema and watched a pretty average film but it was good just to relax and do nothing for a couple of hours. The rest of the evening we spent relaxing and eating, so a very successful day off it was.
