We started off the day in Little Pine Lake a bit slowly as it was hard to get going in such a beautiful setting. We made grilled cheese sandwiches for breakfast and they were great at keeping us full for longer. We cycled into Nestor Falls and stopped at the visitors centre and for a... Continue Reading →
Day 65 – Mine Center to Little Pine Lake – 140km day – Tail wind and flat roads!
We woke early to find that the mosquitoes had not vanished overnight. We made a quick exit from the campground and stopped at the town store to pay for our night and to stock up on food for the ride into Fort Frances. The two people working at the general store agreed that the mosquitoes... 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 63 – Shabaqua Corner to Quetico – The battle against the headwind continues
We started the morning off very early in order to try and beat the wind today. We both showered to try and rinse off some of the grime from the somewhat gross motel room and cooked breakfast outside on the bench. Thankfully, the sun had re-appeared and was trying to warm the air somewhat, although... 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 61 – Rest day in Thunder Bay
We slept in and had a slow start to our rest day. I started some much needed laundry, including washing our sleeping bags (thank goodness)! I headed out in the afternoon to get a new seatpost for my bike as mine was too short. I received excellent service at Cyclepath at 831 May St. and... 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 59 – Rest day at Sleeping Giant
We had a very slow start to our rest day in Sleeping Giant, sleeping in and making breakfast in the rain. We headed for the visitors centre to check it out and dry off. Since we had discovered (much to our dismay!) that you could not get the kayaks (sit on tops only, not the... 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 57 – Rossport to Nipigon
We are in Nipigon tonight. We are off to Sleeping Giant Provincial Park tomorrow and we are planning on taking a rest day there and do some kayaking! After that we will be in Thunder Bay for the weekend. Our entires for the last few days will be up shortly! Update from Katherine: We started... Continue Reading →
