Day 22 Stephenville to Clarenville

We slept in but only if you used Nfld time, another time change and we lost an hour.  Packed up and ready to go and Al's bike wouldn't start, his battery was dead.  We did a quick change in the parking lot thankfully the other bikers had the wrench we needed. Whoops forgot that one at home!
Off towards Gander under grey clouded sky, it was cool enough all day to plug in the heated gloves and coat.  After 200 klms we stopped for gas and breakfast, in rolled the other BC bikers Al met on the ferry. They are on their Harley going coast to coast just like us, really nice people.
We detoured thru Norris Arm to see where Thelma lived, it was a cute little community. The scenery is similar to the Yukon with lots of ocean and lake views.  My motorcycle skills were tested with the winds and huge ruts in the pavement. Only 180 klms to mile zero!!
