We decided to take today off after our long stressful day into Winnipeg yesterday. We are staying at the Holiday Inn to recuperate after so many days and nights spent outside. Most importantly, the winds today are right now 33km/h from the west gusting to 46km/h, and later today it is supposed to change to... Continue Reading →
Day 69 – Rennie to Winnipeg
We woke up fairly early as we noted that the winds still appeared to be blowing from the SE (hence still giving us a tail wind). We turned on our walkie-talkie to get the weather forecast, and learned that the winds were supposed to change from SE to S, and then to westerly winds by... Continue Reading →
In Manitoba!!
Thanks to a great tailwind we made it in to Manitoba today! Too many mosquitoes to update right now so stay tuned!
Day 67 – Rest Day Kayaking in Eagle Dogtooth Provincial Park
Even though it was our rest day, we woke up early so that we could get our tandem kayak (it was first come first serve, but there was no line up anyway). It had rained over night but the forecast was calling for a muggy but sunny day. The weather last night was 'smoke' –... Continue Reading →
Day 64 – Quetico to Mine Center – A day full of excitement
We braved the mosquitos and had oatmeal for breakfast. We were very tempted to go canoeing in Quetico but decided it would be best to truck on and wait for the kayaking for out west. We headed out on the highway in the cool but sunny weather. Finally there was very little wind! The road... Continue Reading →
Day 62 – Thunder Bay to Shabaqua Corner – 2 months since the start
Today marks the 2 month mark since the start of our trip. With our 2 weeks off seeing friends in Ontario, we have spent a total of 5 weeks in Ontario already! It will likely be another week until we enter Manitoba (for a total of 4 cycling weeks and 2 rest weeks). We got... Continue Reading →
Day 60 – Sleeping Giant to Thunder Bay
It had rained off and on overnight and the outside of the tent was quite wet when we woke up. The sun was starting to shine on our site, and it looked like it was going to be a beautiful clear day. We packed up our stuff and headed out back towards the highway. We... Continue Reading →
Day 58 – Nipigon to Sleeping Giant
The nights are much warmer now (the cold front had passed us since Wawa) and our tent no longer gets condensation built up as much in the morning. But it had rained quite a bit over night and we still had to pack our tent up with it still being rather wet today. We called... Continue Reading →
Day 56 – Marathon to Rossport
We woke up to the sunrise and the mist on the lake. It was a very quiet and peaceful morning. Fog came and went while we had breakfast and packed out stuff away. We had to bike up hill to get out of Marathon which was a bit tiring first thing in the morning. We... Continue Reading →
Day 55 – White River to Marathon
Before Henri left in the morning we got a quick photo with him. Our ride was smooth, with little wind and traffic. We came across many beautiful lakes. We then noticed that the forest started to look very strange. We later learned that there was a massive forest fire here in May of 1999 (known... Continue Reading →
