Today was the warmest, sunniest day of the trip so far, truly feeling like the first day of summer. We rode 32 miles from Sussex to St. Martin, back on the Bay of Fundy. Even on my ebike, the ride was challenging, with 2270 feet of climbing, some of it very steep. I was so grateful to be able to push the power up and keep moving. And what goes up must come down, especially when your destination is very close to sea level. A couple of riders got up to 47 mph on the steepest downhills. I kept my speed to a more modest 33 mph.

Lots of buttercups are now everywhere

At fairly high tide, the rock beyond the lighthouse was almost submerged. We can see it from our air B&B, and at low tide it looks like you can walk out to it.
This is the view from my bedroom. Of course the campers have an even better view.
Hope and Sharon cooked dinner, and it was warm enough to eat on the patio. That is quite a change even from yesterday.
