500 down, 3200 to go

Before leaving Montreal I pulled that nail out of my tire and put a rope plug in. I tried the pocket plugged first, but it wad leaking right away, so plan B was put into action. So far it is holding but if a leak develops plan C is a can of fix a flat, which I want to avoid as I have dyna beads inside the tire to balance it. Plan D is to replace the tire.

So with a late start and a stop in Gatineau park to see the changes in color from when I was there last, I stopped in Mattawa after only 500 km for the day. Today, another 500 will take me to Sault Ste Marie but I hope to get farther as the weather forecast is a little dicey for the area.

Lucille flew home from Montreal so she is now back to her routine.
