Pictures Itinerary Ronandmarge's JDRF donation
We had heard coyotes howling in the night, it was wonderful. Ron was up with the lark busting to use his new frying pan. All reports are that breakfast was brilliant, and the eggs looked like eggs for a change. It makes a difference when they’re not mixed up with Teflon from the bottom of the pan.
On the road just after 8h, and 43km later there was the first bend in the road. The bike felt very agile today as we polished off the miles into Wiarton for second breakfast. We saw no groundhogs in this town renowned for Willie the Albino Meteorologist. (If you ask me he’s got as good a record as the egg heads on the Weather Channel who don’t know whether it will rain or whether it wont.)
Wiarton is in a dip, so it’s hard work getting started again, and we seemed to be going up for ages ‘then, all the brakes came off and we on a steep downhill into Owen Sound’s Timmie’s for tea and a bun. We decided that as we were doing so well we would extend the day’s ride to Craigleith Prov. Park. Doing this, and adding about 25km to tomorrow’s ride will save us a day on the schedule and provide us some padding for those coming to meet us in Kingston. The Weather Channel has promised us perfect weather for tomorrow, so we are keeping our Pack-a-Macs handy.
The ride to the Prov. Park was easy, near flat, and fast. The downside was the complete lack of hard shoulder. There was also a lot of light traffic which kept us on our toes.

That’s about all the news that’s fit to blog:
Night, night.
