day 10

something i forgot about... i really hate flies. and i think what bothers me the most about them is sort of the frantic swarming of it all. i mean, when you're dealing with one or two flies, your anger can be directed - sometimes even satisfied by killing the little pests. but once there are a countless number, the situation becomes pretty hopeless. your frustration no longer has a target and any form of retaliation is pointless.

ya, flies suck and the campsite i stayed at (near miramichi) was filled with them. snarl... i should buy some bug spray.

cycling was tough today. the day's total was a little over 100km but my right knee was in some pretty severe pain long before then. of course it's only then that i'm thinking about stretching and massage & stuff. i'll rest for a day in bathurst i think.
