Today was a tough day: Having started the day with Matthew, he had a flat tire after only 10km - exactly at the point when we were passing two massive black bears.
Later, when I was alone again, I had to cross a construction site which was over 35km in length and extremly dusty. And then the real pain began: Strong headwinds and cold rain set in so that it became a real fight until I finally reached a waterfall with a rest area where I could camp half legally.
