Yesterday after getting out of Tim Hortons I rode for about sixty additional miles and also caught my first rain of the trip.
Every time I got down on myself I just thought of how great this trip has been so far and how grateful I am for everyone I met. Speaking of I had an issue with my bike seat and pulled off to the side where some kids were on their razor scooters and a sketchy BMX bike going off a ramp at an abandoned store-long story short one of the kids skateboarded to his house to get me some pliers. The problem was fixed and after I showed them my setup and answered a lot of questions lol. 
So kept riding kept seeing wind turbines and ran into a couple who I later heard about from my hosts- a man wife and their child were doing the country- the husband cheered me along and I did the same for them with an added 'stay dry!' Ha I got bit for saying that.
I spoke to a woman at the gas station and she left me with a smile and I got on my way soon to face the rain. Buh my average went down morale sunk and I was just beat, but again I just kept thinking of the positives and boy was it worth it! Got to my host's house and Margaret and Bob were more than welcoming.
After a pulled pork sandwich (see below) or three and a tasty beer I was out for the count. 110+ mile day and definitely was feeling it haha.
I'll make a separate post for day 5.
