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 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 →
Day 54 – Wawa to White River and Winnie-the-Pooh
This morning we met Mark from Toronto, who was also staying at our campground. He was coming from Vancouver and was headed back home. We shared some tips and had a nice chat. Mark mentioned that he had met a cyclist that said the tourist office in White River has free camping so we noted... Continue Reading →
Day 53 – Agawa Bay to Wawa
Just a quick update to let you know that we have made it to Wawa, ON. Our parents have been telling us there are many stories of hitch hikers getting stuck in this town of Wawa. We have had absolutely no cell coverage since we left Sault Ste Marie, and since we had been staying... Continue Reading →
