Today, Monday, August 22, 2011, after 18 days on the iron horse, Brian will roll into Sydney, Nova Scotia!
Some weather issues are affecting the riders... first, there was last night's fog, but it turns out to have provided a good excuse for a much needed rest stop. Brian was off and riding again around 7:00 AM only to have to contend with quite a bit of wind, making it more of a tough go.
The remaining course takes the riders near Sydney before detouring them on a 450 mile jaunt along the Cabot Trail... because everyone who's just travelled 13,500 miles (ish) wants to enjoy that last scenic coastal tour! The Cabot Trail loops around the Cape Breton Highlands National Park on paved (but rough) road. Once the trail is completed, riders head to the finish at Glace Bay.
In any case, it will be Brian's last day of the Challenge. He will be reaching the Finish Line today! Candy's calculations have Team Brian arriving in Sydney around 5:00 tonight. Go Brian!!!
