8/06/10 Picton to Presqu'Ile

The worst day for me since we left. My left knee was continually cramped and it could let me do more than 1km before cramping again. Eventually I found out that not clipping my shoe helped a lot. We were on the Wine Route so we stopped at a wineyard, Sunbanks, where we tasted like 10 different wines because Xavier was never satisfied. Eventually my knee didn’t hurt anymore, so we decided to buy a white wine and left.

Then we took a very bad decision, that is to follow the road in yellow dashes on the map. We happened to go on something that was not really a road but more of a whole in the ground-pound of water-gigantic rock-massive whole-multiple pounds of water (see video). It’s probably fine when you have a mountain bike, but with all our luggage it was not as fun. I fell off at some point because I couldn’t unclip my feet and I was falling on the side. No permenant damage for me, but my bike got a part of the rubber on the handlebar torn apart.

We eventually got out of there and had a nice dinner with the bottle of wine in Presqu’Ile arbor. Distance : 60km
