After a late start from the Soo (only hit the road at 5:30pm!) we headed towards the hills of Lake Superior. All the riders we have met travelling towards us warned us of these hills! By 5th of July we were at Agawa Bay sharing a campsite with hundreds of mosquitoes, and steeling ourselves for the start of the big hills next day!
The Feldmanns are a family we have been keeping in touch with and watching their progress while we have been going along. They left Kelona before we did and we were hoping to see them as we went.
As we were leaving Town I looked across the road and over the top of the hill I see a cyclist. Soon I see he is foolowed by three others. At this point we are separated by 5 lanes of traffic. I don’t have time to explain to dave as I park my bike and run over to the road side. I shout but they can’t hear. They heard my whistle though and they stopped and I asked if thet wer the Feldmanns and when they said yes we walked over and shook hands and they knew who we were. We all needed a bike shop so we all went to one close by and chatted between getting business done.
What a fine family. The youngest boy Tristan who is 10 and the oldest boy Stefan, 13 are a real inspiration.
Computer time is up . Think Computers easy access for us Love M
July 2nd cycling against the wind into Thessalon, we were looking for another piece of grass. While at the Info Centre, we were approached by Jack and Sheila who were very interested in our jouurney. They invited us to stay on their 42 ft dream sail boat (Jo and Steve eat your hearts out!!) How could we say “no”? We shared a pizza, and sailing and cycling stories. They are sailing ther Great Lakes all summer, and maybe the US East coast next year.
If Kate and Steve are reading this, we met your relatives in Sudbury. Really nice people, Albert and Joyce Daniels who welcomed us into their home.
Breakfast at Tims’ and met fellow cyclist from Quebec who was pedaling home with wife in tow in van! Through broken French and broken English we had a nice visit.
