So the first two days are behind us, we have 225 km under our belt, and we have stayed mostly dry!
I learned that we were on the radio in Kingston yesterday. Thanks for that whoever you are!
The trip has gone well... But not quite as planned. We set off Monday morning, with a great send off from some brave souls who got up early to see us off. My Mom came from Kingston to see us off, and many more than I expected were there cheering and waving. Thank you everyone.
We made good time, but as we traveled, we found that fully loaded, the rack on Chris's bike was slowly bending and allowing a part to touch the wheel. We decided that a permanent fix was a good idea, so made some distance, and then met Marilou who picked us up and brought us home for repairs. We fixed the frame, slept at home then she brought us back to where we left off. And we had a bonus last sleep in our own beds!
So we rode 160 km Monday from Bath to Iroquois. Tuesday, a bike repair, then 65 km from Iroquois to the far side of Cornwall. And then bunked down before the rain!
Favorite sights:
Munchkins from a summer program, dozens of them abou 4 years old, all dressed in yellow, enjoying Upper Canada Village.
The sun setting over the St Lawrence was beautiful as we pedaled.
Watching the lightning from a dry place.
