One of the rest days I was looking forward to the most was the day in Quebec City.  We left Trois Riviere in good time after a great breakfast at the bed and breakfast and made our way to Quebec.  It was a great ride into Quebec city and was not hard to navigate as hwy 138 basically took me all the way there.  It was another hot...

We left Lachute a little later than planned and headed on a short ride to Laval.  Svend decided to join for the short ride to Laval and then he planned to have John drive him back to Lachute for his reunion.  We arrived in Laval in time to find a bike shop and get my gear shifter replaced.  After spending 179.00 it was fixed and...

We arrived in Ottawa on July 29.  We actually only rode to Stittsville about 25 km outside downtown Ottawa which I was thankful for after a late night.  The last week was super busy with a number of events and I would not have changed that at all but it made for a tired few days riding.  The ride to Stittsville was just over...

So its been a few days since I last blogged so sorry for that if you are following along.  This stretch of the ride has been quite busy.  I'll start back in Kitchener for this blog.  We had a wonderful event there that raised close to 4000.00 towards the ride.  It was an extra special event for me as I was able to see a lot...

Well its been a few days since I've blogged.  I've had limited access to internet and have also been busy with my children so that's been great.  After a great night in Blind River I was on the road again and had been debating trying another 200 km day which would bring me right to South Baymouth and the ferry to Tobermory.  This...

After a great stay in Marathon we left on a foggy day and headed for Wawa, which was scheduled to be the longest day of the trip.  The riding all through the north has been hilly and really great.  This day was not as great for scenery due to the fog but it was nice.  Half way through the ride the sun came out only to disappear...

We arrived in Marathon yesterday on a colder but really nice day.  It was a shorter but hilly ride with some great views of Lake Superior along the way.  The stretch from Thunder Bay to here has been really spectacular.  We are staying with the Koevoet's while here.  The Koevoet's are my friend Dave's parents.  Dave and...

Its July 9 and we remain on schedule and arrived in Terrace Bay today.  We were in Nipigon yesterday after a chilly but nice ride from Thunder Bay.  We found a nice camping spot that was cheap, right on the water.  After a coffee at Tim Horton's we headed down and set up our tents.  It was cold and windy which made setting up...

Well we have arrived in Thunder Bay ON.  Have not been blogging for the last few days due to the lack of wifi in the remote parts of Northern Ontario.  We left Dryden after a nice visit with Adam and is family (was great to see Adam again after more than a few years).  The ride from Dryden to Ignace was nice.  There was a...

The day after we stayed at the hotel in Winnipeg we were staying with Brian and Barb Ardern.  Brian and Barb were great hosts and it was a relaxing rest day.  The weather was not great so we did not venture out to any Canada Day celebrations.  The sun did make an appearance after dinner and I was feeling optimistic about riding...
